Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 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 out on the promenade

 and the gambling commissioners 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 ACCORDION)

(VERSE 2)

Well I got a job and tried to put my money away

But I got in too deep and I could not pay

So I drew what I had from the Central Trust

And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

(CHORUS) (SOLO ACCORDION)

(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

so put your stockings on, cause it might get cold

(CHORUS) (SOLO ACCORDION X2)

(VERSE 3)

Now I been looking for a job but it's hard to find

Down here it's just winners and losers and

Don't get caught on the wrong side of that line

Well I'm tired of coming out on the losing end

So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him

(CHORUS WITH 2 EXTRA) (SOLO ACCORDION FADE OUT)

Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
