Intro: B   Ebm  Dbm  F# 
  
      B                        Abm 
       You have never been in love 
                              Ebm 
       until you've seen the stars 
                        F# 
       reflect in the reservoirs 
      B                            Abm 
       and you have never been in love 
                              Ebm 
       until you've seen the dawn rise 
               F# 
       behind the Home For The Blind 
Bridge: 
                   Dbm          Abm    Ebm-Dm-Dbm 
       we are the Pretty Petty Thieves 
    Dbm                            Abm 
       and you're standing on our streets 
  
Chorus: (x2) 
               F#              B 
       where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand 
                Ebm                                        Dbm      F# 
       and the first to do time, the first of the gang to die - oh my  
                                  
Chorus (x2) 
  
     B                        Abm 
       You have never been in love 
                              Ebm 
       until you've seen sunlight thrown 
                        F# 
       over smashed human bone 
  
BRIDGE: 
                   Dbm          Abm    Ebm-Dm-Dbm 
       we are the Pretty Petty Thieves 
    Dbm                            Abm 
       and you're standing on our streets 
  
Chorus 
                              B 
       where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand

        and the first to do time the first of the gang to die such a silly boy 
                        B 
       Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand 
               Ebm                                    Dbm               F# 
       and a bullet in his gullet and the first Lost Lad to go under the sod 
  
BREAK:  A  Dbm D   E   D 
  
Chorus: 
                               B 
       And he stole from the rich and the poor and the not-very-rich 
                Ebm                              Dbm 
       and the very poor and he stole all hearts away 
                           F#                    B 
        Stole all hearts away, stole all hearts away ahay ahay ahay 
         Ebm                        Dbm      F# 
        Away-ahay stole all hearts away ... away
