Indo - china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
Fm D# Cm A#
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
Fm D# A# Fm Cm
They advance as does his chance oh
A#m Cm A#
very yellow white flash.
Fm D# Cm A#
G violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Fm D#
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
Cm A# Fm D#
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance
A#m Fm
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,
Cm A#m Fm D# A#m Fm Cm A# Fm D#
foe, him five yards from his leg, From you Taro.
A#m Fm Cm A# Cm A# Fm D#
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.

3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
Fm D# Cm A#
All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,
Fm D# A# Fm Cm
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not oh
A#m Cm A#
le photographe est mort.
Fm D# Cm A# Fm D#
3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54
Cm A# Fm D#
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great closeness
A#m Fm
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,
Cm A#m Fm D# A#m Fm Cm A# Fm D#
re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.
A#m Fm Cm A# Cm A# Fm D#
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.
