[Verse]
D#m C# G#m F# D#m C#
Indo - china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
G#m F# D#m C#
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
G#m F# C# G#m D#m
They advance as does his chance oh
C#m D#m C#
very yellow white flash.
G#m F# D#m C#
A# violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,
G#m F#
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
D#m C# G#m F#
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance
C#m G#m
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,
D#m C#m G#m F# C#m G#m D#m C# G#m F#
foe, him five yards from his leg, From you Taro.
C#m G#m D#m C# D#m C# G#m F#
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.
[verse 2]
D#m C# G#m F# D#m C#
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
G#m F# D#m C#
All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,
G#m F# C# G#m D#m
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not oh
C#m D#m C#
le photographe est mort.
G#m F# D#m C# G#m F#
3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54
D#m C# G#m F#
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great closeness
C#m G#m
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,
D#m C#m G#m F# C#m G#m D#m C# G#m F#
re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.
C#m G#m D#m C# D#m C# G#m F#
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.
