    This song is about a couple who are struggling financially and decide to meet in Atlantic City to try and turn their luck around. [1] They have debts they can't pay and the man gets money from a bank to buy bus tickets to Atlantic City. [2] In Atlantic City, everything is about winners and losers, so the man is going to do a "favor" for someone, likely something illegal, in hopes of making money. [3] They hope that in Atlantic City, where "the sand's turnin' to gold," their luck might change for the better.

    ATLANTIC CITY Capo 1

    [Verse]
    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
    Em G C G
    Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    Em G C G
    And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

    [Verse]
    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
    [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
    …
    Em G C G
    Em G C G

    [Verse]
    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
    ******(BUILD UP, direct dynamic change in playing)*********
    C G
    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
    Em 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
    Slowing it down match w drums
