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
