Atlantic City chords
Start Jamming...
Well, they [E] blew up a chicken man in Philly [A] last night.
Now they blew up his [D] house too.
[A]
Down on the [B] boardwalk, they're getting ready [A] for a fight.
Gonna [B] see what them racket boys can [A] do.
Now there's trouble bustling in from out of state.
And the DA can't get no relief.
Columbia crumble [B] out on the [A] promenade.
[F#] And the gambling [A] commission's hanging on by the [E] skin of its teeth.
[F#m] Well, now, everything dies, baby, that's [A] a fact.
[F#m] Maybe [E] everything that dies someday [F#m] comes back.
Put your makeup [E] on, fix your hair up pretty.
[F#m] And meet [B] me tonight [D] in [A] Atlantic City.
[E] [A]
[D] [A]
[F#m] Well, I [A] got a job and tried to put my money away.
[F#m] But I got [B] debts that no honest [A] man can pay.
So I drew what I [E] had from the [A] central trust.
And I bought us two tickets on that [F#] post city bus.
Now, [F#m] baby, everything [E] dies, baby, that's [A] a fact.
[F#m] And maybe [E] everything that dies someday [A] comes back.
Put your makeup [E] on, fix your hair [A] up pretty.
And meet [E] me tonight in [A] Atlantic City.
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[E]
[D] [A] Now, [D] luck may have died [F#m] and I may be cold.
But [B] with you forever [F#m] I'll stay.
[D] We're going out where the [F#m] sand's turning to gold.
[A]
Put on your stockings, baby, because the night's getting cold.
And maybe everything dies, baby, that's a fact.
But maybe everything that dies [E] someday comes back.
[F#m] [A]
[D] [A] [F#m]
[E] [A] I've been looking for a job, but it's hard to find.
Down here it's just winners and losers.
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line.
Well, I'm tired of [E] coming out on this losing [A] end.
So, honey, last night I met this guy.
And I'm going to do a little favor for [F#] him.
Well, I [A] guess everything [E] dies, baby, [A] that's a fact.
[F#m] And maybe everything that [B] dies someday comes back.
So fix your hair [E] up nice, fix your [A] hair up pretty.
And meet me [E] tonight in [A] Atlantic City.
Meet me [D] tonight in [A] Atlantic City.
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City.
Meet me [E]
tonight in [A] Atlantic City.
