[Verse 1]
           Em        G                C           G
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

         Em         G            C   G
Now, they blew up his house, too

           Em           G                  C      G
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight

     Em        G                    C   G
Gonna see what them racket boys can do

             Em         G            C     G
Now, there's trouble busin' in from outta state

       Em        G          C    G
And the D.A. can't get no relief

          Em     G          C      G
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade

        Em            G                        C           D
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
[Chorus]
         Em     G                C        G
Well now, ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact

          Em           G           D         Em
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back

         Em     G            C       G
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

    Em       G           C       G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[Instrumental] Em G C G x2 [Verse 2]
       Em      G                   C          G
Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away

            Em           G     C          G
But I got debts that no honest man can pay

      Em           G          C         G
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust

      Em               G            C          D
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
[Chorus]
         Em     G                C        G
Well now, ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact

          Em           G           D         Em
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back

         Em     G            C       G
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

    Em       G           C       G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[Instrumental] Em G C G x3 Em G C D [Bridge]
D      C                          Em
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold

   C         D            Em
But with you forever I'll stay

      C                         Em
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold

C      G                          C            G
Put on your stockin's baby, 'cause the night's gettin' cold

   C           G                C         G
And maybe ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact

          C          G             D         C
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back
[Verse 3]
           Em              G              C        G
Now, I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find

                  Em             G
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't

     C                   G
get caught on the wrong side of that line

         Em               G            C        G
Well, I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end

                Em                G
So, honey, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna

            C          G
do a little favor for him
[Chorus]
             Em     G                C        G
Well, I guess ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact

          Em           G           D         Em
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back

         Em      G             C       G
Put your hair up nice, set yourself up pretty

    Em       G           C       G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
