CAPO ON 2 (song is in F#m and the starting note for the vocal is C#)

[Intro Mandolin Riff]
(relative to capo) (not relative to capo)

[Intro] Em G C G x2

[Verse 1] Em G C G

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
Em G D
And the gambling commissioner’s hanging on by the skin of his teeth

[Chorus] Em G C G
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] Em G C G
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
Em G D
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

[Chorus] Em G C G
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] C Em
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
C D Em
But with you, forever I’ll stay
Yeah, we’re going out where, the sand turns to gold
D
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

[Outro]

(Repeat and fade out)
