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