Well they blew up the chicken man

Down on the boardwalk they're gettin'
C
ready for a fight,
D G
Gonna see what them racket boys can do

Now there's trouble busin' in
C
from outta state,
D G
and the D.A. can't get no relief
G
Gonna be a rumble
C
out on the promenade and the
D
gamblin' commission's hangin'
G
on by the skin of its teeth
[CHORUS]
C G
Well now everything dies, baby that's a fact,
D G
but maybe everything that dies, someday comes back
C G
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
D G
and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
G
Well I got a job and tried to
C
put my money away,
D G
but I got debts that no honest man can pay

So I drew what I had,
C
from the Central Trust,
D G
and bought us two tickets on that City Coast bus
[CHORUS]
