[Verse 1]
 
G                        Em
  You have never been in love
                      B
until you've seen the stars
               D
reflect in the reservoirs
G                            Em
  And you have never been in love
                      B
until you've seen the dawn rise
      C                   D
behind the Home For The Blind
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
           Am             Em     Bm Bbm
We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
Am                            Em
   and you're standing on our streets
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      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
               G
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                        Em
  You have never been in love
                  B
until you've seen sunlight thrown
            D
over smashed human bone
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
           Am             Em     Bm Bbm
We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
Am                            Em
   and you're standing on our streets
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      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, 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

[Chorus/Outro]
 
                      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
He stole all hearts away, he stole all hearts away ahay ahay ahay
 Bm                             Am       D
Away-ahay, he stole all hearts away ... away
                     G
He stole all hearts away ahay ahay ahay
 Bm                             Am       D
Away-ahay, he stole all hearts away ... away
                     G
he stole all hearts away ahay ahay ahay
 Bm                             Am       D
Away-ahay, he stole all hearts away ... away
