[Intro] Em G C G x2 [Verse 1]
Em                 G                  C           G
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

Em       G                 C   G
And they blew up his house too

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

      Em            G               D
Gonna see what them racket boys can do

Em              G                   C           G
Now there's trouble busing 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 on the promenade

        Em                G                       D
And the gambling commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth
[Chorus]
Em         G           C        G
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact

    Em               G             C         G
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

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

Em        G           C      G
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
[Solo] Em G C G x2 [Verse 2]
Em            G                C      G
Well, I got a job and I put my money away

      Em              G            C          G
But I got the kind of debt that no honest man can pay

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

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

    Em               G             C         G
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

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

Em        G           C      G
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
[Solo] Em G C G x2 [Bridge]
        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
Yeah, we're going out where, the sand turns to gold

            D
But put your stockings on, 'cause it might get cold
[Chorus]
    Em         G           C        G
Oh, everything dies, baby, that's a fact

    Em               G             C         G
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

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

Em        G           C      G
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
[Solo] Em G C G x4 [Verse 3]
             Em             G            C       G
Now I've been looking for a job but it's hard to find

        Em                  G              C             G
There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of that line

          Em               G                C       G
Well, I'm tired of getting caught out on the losing end

      Em              G                             D
But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
[Chorus]
      Em         G           C        G
Well, everything dies, baby, that's a fact

    Em               G             C         G
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

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

Em        G           C      G
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City

    Em        G           C      G
Oh, meet me tonight, in Atlantic City

    Em        G           C      G
Oh, meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
[Outro] Em G C G (Repeat and fade out)
