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
