Intro
Em G C G x2
Verse 1
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk, they're ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busing in, from outta state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
And the gambling commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth
Chorus
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty and
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
Solo
Em G C G x2
Verse 2
Well, I got a job and I put my money away
But I got the kind of debt 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 someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty and
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
Solo
Em G C G x2
Bridge
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
But with you, forever I'll stay
Yeah, we're going out where, the sand turns to gold
But put your stockings on, 'cause it might get cold
Chorus
Oh, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty and
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
Solo
Em G C G x4
Verse 3
Now I've been looking for a job but it's hard to find
There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of that line
Well, I'm tired of getting caught out on the losing 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 someday 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
