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