THE FIRST OF THE GANG TO DIE

Capo 4th Fret


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                                         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
                              G   
	where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
                 Bm                                        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                                     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
