Em
Down on the boardwalk,
C G

They're / ready for a fight,

Gonna / see what them,

/
Racket boys can / do.
Em

/ /
The / D.A. can't get no re - / lief.
Em C G
/ / -
Gonna / be a rumble on the / promen - ade, and

/
The / gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on,
D
/
By the / skin of his teeth.

Everything dies, baby,

/
Put your / makeup on,

Fix your / hair up pretty, and

/ -
Meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
[Verse]
Em
/
Well, I / got a job, and
C G
/ -
I put my / money a - way,
Em
/
But I / got the kind of debt
C G
/ -
That no honest / man can pay.
Em
/
So I / drew out what I had
C G
/ -
From the / Central Trust, and
Em
/
I / bought us two tickets
D
/
On that / Coast City bus.
(Chorus)
[Bridge]
C
Now our luck may have died, and
Em
Our love may be cold,
C D Em
But with you forever I'll stay.

Where the sand turns to gold,

But put your stockings on,
D
'Cause it might get cold.

/
Now I've been a - / lookin' for a / job,
C G

But it's / hard to find,

There's / winners and there's losers, and
C G
/ -
I am / South of the line.
Em
/
Well, I'm / tired of gettin' caught out
C G
/ -
On the / losin' end,
Em
/
But I / talked to a man last night,

/
Gonna do a little / favor for him.
