First Of The Gang To Die Chords

(ver. 1)
Morrissey
Track: First Of The Gang To Die

I've noticed some of the chords that people have submitted for this song are 
slightly wrong. These should be just right...

Intro: B Ebm C#m F#m

 B                      Abm
You have never been in love,
                       Ebm
Until you've seen the stars,
                   F#m
reflect in the reservoirs

 B                          Abm
And you have never been in love,
                        Ebm
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
     F#m
behind the home for the blind

             C#m          Abm      Ebm  Dm  C#m
We are the pretty petty thieves,
                            Abm
And you're standing on our street..

      F#m                B  
...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand
         Ebm
and the first to do time
                         C#m   F#m
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
                B
Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand 
         Ebm
and the first to do time
                         C#m   F#m
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

[Verse 3]

[Chorus]

[Break] Chords: A C#m Bm E F#m

                       B
And he stole from the rich and the poor
                               Ebm
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
                        C#m
and he stole all hearts away
                     F#m
he stole all hearts away


LYRICS

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

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street..

...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.
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.

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bones

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street..

...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
and the first lost lad to go under the sod.


And he stole from the rich and the poor 
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
