[F#m] Well, they [A] blew up the chicken [D] man in Philly [A] last night.
Now they blew up [D] his house too.
[A]
Down [F#m] on [A] the boardwalk, they're getting [D] ready for [A] a fight.
Gonna [F#m] [A] see what them [D] racket boys can do.
[A]
Now [F#m] there's [A] trouble bustling [D] in from [A] out of state.
And the DA can't [D] get no [A] relief.
Gonna be a rumble [E] out [D] on the [A]
[F#m] promenade.
And the [A] gambling commission's hanging on by the [E] skin of its teeth.
[F#m] Well, now, [A] everything [D] dies, baby, that's [A] a fact.
[F#m] Maybe [A] everything that [E] dies someday [F#m] comes back.
Put your [Am] makeup on, [Bm] get your [A] hair out of the way,
and meet me [D] tonight in Atlanta, [A] State.
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away,
[F#m] but I got [A] debts that no honest [Bm] [A] man can pay.
So I drew what [D] I had from the [A] central trust,
and I bought us two tickets on [E] that post city bus.
Now, [A] baby, everything [D] dies, baby, that's [A] a fact.
And maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Put your makeup on, [D] get your [A] hair out of the way,
and meet me tonight in Atlanta, State.
[D] [A] [C#]
[D] [A]
[D] [F#m] Now,
[D] [A] [D]
I may have died, [F#m] and I may be cold,
[D] but [E] 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, this night's getting cold.
Maybe everything dies, baby, [D] [A] that's a fact.
And maybe everything that dies [E] someday comes [D] back.
[F#m]
[D] [A] [F#m]
[A] Now, 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.
I'm tired of coming out on [D] exclusion,
[A] and it's funny, last night I met this guy,
and I'm going to do a little favor [E] for him.
[F#m] Well, I guess [A] everything [D] dies, baby, [A] that's a fact.
[F#m] And maybe [Am] everything that dies [D] someday [A] comes back.
Put your hair [D] up nice, you [A] smell so pretty,
and meet me [D]
tonight in [A] Atlanta, State.
Meet me [D] tonight in Atlanta, [A] State.
Meet me tonight in Atlanta, State.
Meet me [D]
tonight in Atlanta, [A] State.
Everything dies, baby.
Everything dies, baby.
[D] [A] Everything [D] [A]
dies.
