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
