Intro: C5 E5 D5 G5 F5

C5                        A5
  You have never been in love,
                      E5
Until you've seen the stars,
                G5
reflect in the resevoirs
C5                            A5  
  And you have never been in love,
                       E5       
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
      F5
behind the home for the blind
           D5               A5
We are the pretty petty thieves,
E5 Eb5  D5                          A5    
       And you're standing on our street..


       G5                C5
...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand
        E5 
and the first to do time
                         D5     G5
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
                     C5                
Where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
        E5              
and the first to do time
                        D5      G5    F5
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.


C5                         A5
  You have never been in love,
                   E5
Until you've seen sunlight form
      G5
over smashed human bones


           D5              A5
We are the pretty petty thieves,
E5 Eb5 D5                         A5
       And you're standing on our street..
       G5                C5
...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
        E5
and the first to do time
                         D5          G5
the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.
F5                  C5
 Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
      E5
and a bullet in his gullet
               D5                G5       F5
the first last lad to go under the sod.

Eb5                      C5
  And he stole from the rich and the poor 
                             E5
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
                        D5
and he stole all hearts away
                    G5
he stole all hearts away
                    C5     E5
he stole all hearts away
                    D5
he stole all hearts away
