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 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 on the promenade
Em g d
And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth

Em g c g
Everything dies, baby that's a fact
Em g c g
But maybe everything that dies some day 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

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

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

Am c
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
D em
But with you forever I'll stay
Am c
We'll be goin' out where the sands turn to gold
D d7
But put your stockings on 'cause it might get cold

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 am 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

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
