(Bruce Springsteen song) 
                G                           C 
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night 
                D                            G 
Now they blew up his house too. 
                     C 
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin ready for a fight 
           D                      G 
Gonna see what them racket boys can do. 
 

                         C 
Now there's trouble bustin in from outta state 
             D               G 
And the D.A. can't get no relief. 
                      C 
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade 
              D                         G 
And the gamblin commission's hangin on by the skin of his teeth. 
 
Chorus: 
                 C         G 
Well now ev'rything dies, baby that's a fact 
      D                  G 
But maybe ev'rything that dies, someday comes back. 
              C                     G 
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty 
        D                          G 
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City. 
 

           G                  C 
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away 
      D                                            G 
But I got debts that no honest man can pay. 
                      C 
So I drew what I had, from the Central Trust 
       D                                              G 
And bought us two tickets on that City Coast bus. 
 
Chorus: 
 
Solo:

              Em       A                   Em           A 
Now our luck may have died, and our love may be cold 
              G     D               Em 
But with you forever I'll stay. 
                   Em       A                Em      A 
Now I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find 
          G                 D                  Em 
Down here it's just winners and losers. 
                 A       Em            A 
Honey last night, I met this guy 
              G              D      Em 
And I'm gonna do a little favor for him 
 

            C                A             Em 
I guess ev'rything dies, baby that's a fact 
      C          D                  Em     
But maybe ev'rything that dies, someday comes back.  
 

              Em      A             Em  
Put your hair up nice, and sit up pretty 
      G        D                    Em 
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City. 
C            A                                Em 
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City. 
C            D                   Em 
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City.
