Down on the boardwalk

gonna see what them racket boys can do.
Em D

Now, there's trouble
bustin' in from outta state,
Em
D C - G
and the
D.A. can't get no relief.
Em D
C G
Gonna be
a rumble out on the promenade,
Em D C G
and the
gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth.
Em
D C G
Well, now,
ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact,
Em D

but maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes
back.
Em

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty,

and meet me tonight in Atlantic City.

2. Well, I
got a job and tried to put my money away,
Em D

but I got
debts that no honest man can pay.
Em D C G
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust,
Em D C G
and
I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus. + CHORUS

3. Now our luck may have died and our love may
be cold,
Em

but with you forever I'll
stay.

We're
goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold,
Em D C G
put on
your stockin's baby, `cause the night's gettin' cold.

Em D
down here it's just winners and losers and don't

get
caught on the wrong side of that line.

Well,
I'm tired of comin' out on the
losin' end,
