Intro:  Mandolin Solo
                 / 
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 bussin' in,
         /   -   
From / outta state, and
       /                             / 
The / D.A. can't get no re - / lief.
      /                              /    -        
Gonna / be a rumble on the / promen - ade, and
       / 
The / gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on,
           / 
By the / skin of his teeth.

Chorus:

 
Everything dies, baby,
     -     
That's a / fact,
       / Em                             /
But / maybe everything that / dies,
         /        -       
Some / day comes back.
         /  
Put your / makeup on,
              /     -   
Fix your / hair up pretty, and
                                   /    -   
Meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.


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

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

       /      -                          /          
Oh, / meet me tonight in At - / lantic City,
       /      -                         /         
Oh, / meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
       /      -                         /         
Oh, / meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
