           F#m          A              D          A
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
F#m        A                D A
and they blew up his house too
F#m          A                  D           A
Down on the boardwalk, they're ready for a fight
      F#m            A               E
gonna see what them racket boys can do

Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth

Chorus:
F#m         A          D       A
Everything dies baby that's a fact
    F#m                A            D         A
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         F#m    A             D        A
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty and
F#m        A           D      A
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City

Well, I got a job and I put my money away
But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew out what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

Chorus:
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

         D                           F#m
Now our luck may have died, and our love may be cold
          D      E         F#m
but with you, forever I'll stay
            D                    F#m
Yeah we're going out where, the sand turns to gold
 E
so put your stockings on, cause it might get cold

Chorus:
Oh, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Now I've been a-lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line
Well, I'm tired of gettin' caught out on the losin' end
But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him

Chorus:
Well, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
