     INTRO
      G   Bm   Am   D

      G                        Em
      You have never been in love
                              Bm
      until you've seen the stars
                        D
      reflect in the reservoirs
      G                            Em
      and you have never been in love
                              Bm
      until you've seen the dawn rise
               D
      behind the Home For The Blind

BRIDGE
                   Am           Em     Bm - Bbm - Am
      we are the Pretty Petty Thieves
    Am                             Em
      and you're standing on our streets

CHORUS (x2)
               D             G
      where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
                Bm                                 Bbm     Am       D
      and the first to do time, the first of the gang to die - oh my 
                                 
CHORUS (x2)

            You have never been in love

             until you've seen sunlight thrown

        over smashed human bone

BRIDGE

        We are the Pretty Petty Thieves

       and you're standing on our streets

CHORUS
              D              G   
      where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
                 Bm                               Bbm      Am         D
        and the first to do time the first of the gang to die such a silly boy
                        G         
      Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
               Bm                          Bbm        Am                D
        and a bullet in his gullet and the first Lost Lad to go under the sod

BREAK   
F  Am  Bb  C   Bb
CHORUS
                               G           
      And he stole from the rich and the poor and the not-very-rich
                Bm                               Am
      and the very poor and he stole all hearts away
                           D                     G
        Stole all hearts away, stole all hearts away ahay ahay ahay
         Bm                         Am       D
        Away-ahay stole all hearts away ... away
