(INTRO MANDOLIN RIFF THEN X2)
Am - F - F - F

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

Am                  F               F     F
Now there's trouble busing in, from outta state
        Am         F        F   F
and the D.A. can't get no relief
Am       F                  F     F
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade 
        Am                F                       G
and the gambling commissioners hanging on, by the skin of his teeth

(CHORUS)
Am         F         F        F
Everything dies baby that's a fact
    Am               F             F         F
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         Am     F            F       F
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty and
Am        F           F      F
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City

(SOLO ACCORDION)
Am - F - F - F - Am - F - F - F

(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)
        F                           Am
Now our luck may have died, and our love may be cold 
         F       G         Am
but with you, forever I'll stay
           F                    Am
Yeah we're going out where, the sand turns to gold
G                        
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)
Am        F           F      F
Meet me tonight, in Atlantic City
