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

Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand

        Bm                                         Am       D

[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

   and you're standing on our streets

        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 | F | Am | Am | Gm | Gm | C | Bb [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
