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