HOT TEEPEE
[D#]
[F#]
[Bm] It's [F#m] about the
[D#] gang wars in southern
New Jersey.
[F#] Well they
[A] blew up the chicken
man in Philly last night
now they blew up
his house too
down on [F#] the [A] boardwalk

of a fight
[F#] wanna see [A] what those ragged
boys can do
now [F#m] there's trouble
[A] busting in from
out of state
[F#] and the DA [A] can't get no relief
gonna be a [F#m]
rumble
out on the [A] promenade
and the [F#] gambling
[A] commission's hanging on
by [E] the skin of its teeth
[F#]
[A] everything dies
baby that's a fact
but [F#] maybe [A] everything
that dies someday comes back
[F#] put your [A] makeup on
fix your hair up
pretty [F#] and meet
[A] me tonight in Atlantic City
