Hank Williams III Atlantic City
(Bruce Springsteen song)
G C
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
D G
Now they blew up his house too.
C
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin ready for a fight
D G
Gonna see what them racket boys can do.
C
Now there's trouble bustin in from outta state
D G
And the D.A. can't get no relief.
C
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
D G
And the gamblin commission's hangin on by the skin of his teeth.
Chorus:
C G
Well now ev'rything dies, baby that's a fact
D G
But maybe ev'rything 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 C
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
D G
But I got debts that no honest man can pay.
C
So I drew what I had, from the Central Trust
D G
And bought us two tickets on that City Coast bus.
Chorus:

Now our luck may have died, and our love may be cold
G D Em
But with you forever I'll stay.
Em A Em A
Now I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
G D Em
Down here it's just winners and losers.
A Em A
Honey last night, I met this guy
G D Em
And I'm gonna do a little favor for him
C A Em
I guess ev'rything dies, baby that's a fact
C D Em
But maybe ev'rything that dies, someday comes back.
Em A Em
Put your hair up nice, and sit up pretty
G D Em
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.
