[Chorus]
G C G Em
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
C D G
Don't you ever let a chance go by

[Spoken]
G C
'Cause up in Newcastle they have very strange mating habits
D
All the young women of Newcastle walk down the main street,
G C
Which is called Hunter Street (for reasons which will become obvious later on

in the song)
D
And all the young men of Newcastle drive down Hunter Street
D
In their hot FJ Holdens with chrome-plated grease nipples

and double reverse overhead twin cam door handles
G
Sitting eight abreast in the front seat
C
And they would lean out the window
D
And say real cool things to the sheilas on the footpath
G
Like uhhh.... 'G'day'
C
And every now and then of course one of the young ladies thinks to herself
D
'Ooooer' she thinks, 'ooooer'

[Chorus]
G C G Em
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
C D G
Don't you ever let a chance go by
G C G Em
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord
C D G
Don't you ever let a chance go by

[Spoken]
G C
Anyway there was this mob of blokes driving down Hunter Street
D
In the front seat of their hot FJ with chrome-plated grease nipples and twin

overhead foxtails

And the cooolest of them all - who got to sit near the window

Was young Normie
G
They pulled up outside the Parthenon milkbar
C
And standing outside the Parthenon was this beautiful looking sheila
