          F#m         A              D           A
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
         F#m     A         D   A
Now they blew up his house too
            F#m               A             D          A
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight
      F#m           A               D  A
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
            F#m     A              D     A
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
        F#m        A        D   A
And the D.A. can't get no relief
           F#m    A          D     A
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
        F#m        A                            D    E
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth

CHORUS 1:
         F#m        A         D        A
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
          F#m             A        E         F#m
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
                A           D       A
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

       F#m   A                    D         A
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
          F#m           A      D       A
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
     F#m         A            D       A
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
      F#m           A               D     E
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

CHORUS 2
          F#m        A         D        A
Now baby, everything dies baby that's a fact
          F#m             A        D         A
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         F#m    A           D       A
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay
      D                          F#m
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold
   D           A                         D               A
So put on your stockin's baby `cause the night's getting cold
    D          A         D        A
And everything dies baby that's a fact
          D               A        E         D
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
                    F#m         A
Down here it's just winners and losers
              D                        A
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
         F#m             A           D         A
Well I'm tired of comin' out on this losin' end
              F#m              A                             D          E
So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favour for him

             F#m        A         D        A
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
          F#m             A        D         A
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Notes:

*Tuning: This song is in the same tuning as Nebraska. It's not quite a
whole semitone flat. The song is in 'F#minor' but the guitar need to be
tuned down for it to sound right. There is no other key to play it in. If
you want to tune to the record it's easier to tune to the Nebraska track
because it's D, G and A, open strings.
