ATLANTIC CITY from Nebraska
 Capo 1st fret
(Live Capo 3rd Fret)
          Em         G              C           G
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night 
         Em     G         C       G
Now they blew up his house too
            Em               G             C          G
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight 
      Em           G               C  G
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
            Em     G              C     G
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state 
        Em        G        C       G
And the D.A. can't get no relief
           Em    G          C     G
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade 
        Em        G               C            D
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth


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


BREAK 1:  Em  G  C  G  Em  G  C  G


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


CHORUS 2
          Em        G         C        G
Now baby, everything dies baby that's a fact
          Em             G        C         G
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         Em    G           C       G
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
    Em       G          C      G
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
      C                          Em
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold 
   C           G                         C               G
So put on your stockin's baby `cause the night's getting cold
    C          G         C        G     
And everything dies baby that's a fact
          C               G        D         C
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

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


             Em        G         C        G
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
          Em             G        C         G
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         Em     G        C      G
Put your hair up nice and set up pretty
    Em       G          C      G
