Intro:
guitar 1:
Guitar 2:
oVER CHORUS' GUITAR 2 PLAY THE INTRO BIT.
Verse 1:
You have never been in love
until you've seen the stars
reflect in the reservoirs
and you have never been in love
until you've seen the dawn rise
behind the Home For The Blind
Bridge:
we are the Pretty Petty Thieves
and you're standing on our streets
Chorus:
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 / 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:
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
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
the first Lost Lad under the sod
BREAK: E5 / C#5 | B5 | Bb5
CHORUS:
And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not-very-rich
and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away / away
