You have never been in love
Ebm
until you've seen the stars
F#
reflect in the reservoirs
B Abm
and you have never been in love
Ebm
until you've seen the dawn rise
F#
behind the Home For The Blind
Dbm Abm Ebm
we are the Pretty Petty Thieves
Dbm Abm
and you're standing on our streets
Chorus: (x2)

where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
Ebm Dbm F#
and the first to do time, the first of the gang to die - oh my
Chorus (x2)
B Abm
You have never been in love
Ebm
until you've seen sunlight thrown

over smashed human bone

we are the Pretty Petty Thieves

and you're standing on our streets
Chorus
B
where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
Ebm Dbm F#
and the first to do time the first of the gang to die such a silly boy
B
Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
Ebm Dbm F#
and a bullet in his gullet and the first Lost Lad to go under the sod
B
And he stole from the rich and the poor and the not-very-rich
Ebm Dbm
and the very poor and he stole all hearts away
F# B
Stole all hearts away, stole all hearts away ahay ahay ahay
Ebm Dbm F#
Away-ahay stole all hearts away ... away
