Atlantic City
By: Bruce Springsteen
Capo on third fret
(this is the way Levon Helm plays it)
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 bustin' 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 his teeth
Chorus:
Em G C G
Well now, ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
Em G D Em
But maybe ev'rything 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
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 C G
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Chorus:
Em G C G
Well now, ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
Em G D Em
But maybe ev'rything 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
D C Em
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
C D Em
But with you forever I'll stay
C Em
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold
C G C G
Put on your stockin's baby, `cause the night's gettin' cold
C G C G
And maybe ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
C G D C
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back
Em G C G
Em G C G
Now, I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
Em G C G
Down here it's just winners and losers
Em G 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 the losin' end
Em G C G
So, honey, last night I met this guy, gonna do a little favor for him
Chorus:
Em G C G
Well now, ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
Em G D Em
But maybe ev'rything 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

sounds better if the capo is on the 2nd fret.

As the author states within the tab this is a cover version, so it should be listed in the main header under the performer, Levon Helm, not under Bruce Springsteen
