[Verse 1]
Dm F Bb F
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night,
Dm F Bb
And they blew up his house, too,
Dm F Bb F
Down on the boardwalk, they’re getting ready for a fight,
Dm F Bb
Gonna see what them racket boys can do,
Dm F Bb F
Now there’s trouble busing in from out of state,
Dm F Bb
And the D.A. can’t get no relief,
Dm F Bb F
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade,
Dm F Csus4 C Csus4 C
And the gambling commission’s hanging on by the skin of its teeth.
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F
Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact,
Dm F Bb Bb6
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back,
Dm F Bb F
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty,
Dm F Bb6 F
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.
[Interlude]

Dm F Bb F
[Verse 2]
Dm F Bb6
Well, I got a job and put my money away,
Dm F Bb F
But I got debts that no honest man can pay,
Dm F Bb6
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust,
Dm F Csus4 C Csus4
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus.
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb6
Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact,
Dm F Bb F
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back,
Dm F Bb6 F
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty,
Dm F Bb6 F
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.

Fsus4 F
Our luck may have died, and our love may be cold,
Fsus4 F Fsus2 F
But with you’re done and I’ll stay,
Fsus4 F
We’ll go and to do it where the sand’s turning to gold,
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
So put on your stockings, baby, the night’s getting cold, and,
[Chorus]
Fsus4
Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact,
C
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back,
[Interlude]
C Csus4 Bb
[Verse 3]
Dm F Bb F
Been looking for a job, but it’s hard to find,
Dm F Bb
Down here, it’s just winners and losers and “Don’t get caught on the wrong side of that line”,
Dm F Bb6
I’m tired of coming out on the losing end,
Dm F Bb6 Csus4
So, honey, last night, I met this man, and I’m gonna do a little favor for him.
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb6
Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact,
Dm F Bb F
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back,
Dm F Bb6 F
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty,
Dm F Csus4
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.
