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