      / Em
Well, I / got a job, and

     / Em
But I / got the kind of debt
            / G
That no honest / man can pay.
    / Em
So I / drew out what I had

From the / Central Trust, and

        / Em
Now our / luck may have died, and

       / Em
We'll be / goin' out,
         / G
Where the / sands turn to gold,

But put your / stockin's on,
       / D
'Cause it / might get cold.

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

There's / winners and there's losers, and

I am / South of the line.
        / Em
Well, I'm / tired of gettin' caught out

On the / losin' end,

Gonna do a little / favor for him.

Oh, / meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
    / G
Oh, / meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
