[Verse 1]
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]
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
Em G C G
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Em G C G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[Instrumental]
Em G C G x2
[Verse 2]
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 D
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
Em G C G
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Em G C G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[Instrumental]
Em G C G x3
Em G C D
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Em G C G
Now, I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
Em G
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't
C G
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
So, honey, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna
C G
do a little favor for him
[Chorus]
Em G C G
Well, I guess ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact
Em G D Em
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back
Em G C G
Put your hair up nice, set yourself up pretty
Em G C G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

capo on the 2nd fret, play along and u'll hear
+25
ok so after some more messing with it, yeah, standard tuning 1st fret, half step down tuning 2nd fret... or you cold just play the barre chords without a capo at all, but it doesnt have the same sort of sound, unless your one of those people that can barre so hard you can bend steel.

i think it's capo on the 2nd alright.
