                 / Em
Well, they / blew up the chicken man,

In / Philly last night, and
         / Em                       /  C
They / blew up his house, / too.
Em
Down on the boardwalk,
            / C       —       G
They're / ready for a fight,
           / Em
Gonna / see what them,
                          / C
Racket boys can / do.

Em              /
Now there's / trouble bussin' in,
         / C  —   G
From / outta state, and

The / D.A. can't get no re — / lief.
Em      /                              / C   —        G
Gonna / be a rumble on the / promen — ade, and
       / Em
The / gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on,
           / D
By the / skin of his teeth.

 Em
Everything dies, baby,
C     —     G
That's a / fact,
       / Em                             /
But / maybe everything that / dies,
         / C       —       G
Some / day comes back.
Em         /  G
Put your / makeup on,
              / C    —   G
Fix your / hair up pretty, and

Meet me to — night in At — / lantic City.


           / Em
Well, I / got a job, and
              / C     —     G
I put my / money a — way,
         / Em
But I / got the kind of debt
                        / C   —      G
That no honest / man can pay.
       / Em
So I / drew out what I had
               / C   —     G
From the / Central Trust, and
 / Em
I / bought us two tickets
            / D
On that / Coast City bus.

Chorus:

               / Em
Now our / luck may have died, and
       / C           —       G
Our / love might be cold,
               / Em                     / C
But with / you for — ever I'll / stay.
             / Em
We'll be / goin' out,
                 / C       —          G
Where the / sands turn to gold,
                     / Em
But put your / stockin's on,
              / D
'Cause it / might get cold.

Chorus:

                             / Em
Now I've been a —  / lookin' for a / job,
            / C    —   G
But it's / hard to find,
            / Em
There's / winners and there's losers, and
        / C        —        G
I am / South of the line.
               / Em
Well, I'm / tired of gettin' caught out
           / C  —   G
On the / losin' end,
         / Em
But I / talked to a man last night,
                          / D
Gonna do a little / favor for him.

Chorus:

       / Em     —          G                / C         G
Oh, / meet me tonight in At — / lantic City,
       / Em     —         G                / C        G
Oh, / meet me to — night in At — / lantic City.
