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