Intro: C Em Dm G F

C                        Am7
  You have never been in love,
                      Em
Until you've seen the stars,
                G
reflect in the resevoirs
C                            Am7  
  And you have never been in love,
                       Em       
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
      F
behind the home for the blind
           Dm               Am
We are the pretty petty thieves,
Em Ebm  Dm                          Am    
       And you're standing on our street..


       G                C
...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand
        Em 
and the first to do time
                         Dm     G
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
                     C                
Where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
        Em              
and the first to do time
                        Dm      G    F
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.


C                         Am7
  You have never been in love,
                   Em
Until you've seen sunlight form
      G
over smashed human bones


           Dm              Am
We are the pretty petty thieves,
Em Ebm Dm                         Am
       And you're standing on our street..
       G                C
...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
        Em
and the first to do time
                         Dm          G
the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.
F                  C
 Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
      Em
and a bullet in his gullet
               Dm                G       F
the first last lad to go under the sod.

  And he stole from the rich and the poor 
                             Em
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
                        Dm
and he stole all hearts away
                    G
he stole all hearts away
                    C     Em
he stole all hearts away
                    Dm
he stole all hearts away
