Intro
verse 1
          Em          G              C           G
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
         Em           G        C G
now they blew up his house too
            Em                G            C      G
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight
      Em            G           C   G
gonna see what them racket boys can do
            Em                     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 out on the promenade
        Em           G                           C          D
and the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth

CHORUS
          Em        G         C       G
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
          Em               G         C       G
But maybe everything that dies someday 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

Em   G    C   G x2

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

CHORUS x2

Bridge

         C                                     Em
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
C            D            Em
but with you forever I'll stay
C                                           Em
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold
C                                         D
so put on your stockin's baby 'cause the night's getting cold
    C          B         Am      G
And everything dies baby that's a fact
      C               B    Am
maybe everything that dies someday comes back
