  Dm C Gm      F                Dm
Indo - china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep
up the
 C
road
Gm         F         Dm             C
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
Gm               F              C Gm Dm
They advance as does his chance oh
Cm                 Dm  C
very yellow white flash.
Gm          F                       Dm
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light,
                  C
tears limbs like rags,
Gm             F
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
Dm                C   Gm               F
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense
distance
      Cm                             Gm
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,
         Dm                   Cm
foe, him five yards from his leg,

Chorus:
From you
 Gm F Cm Gm Dm C Gm F
Taro.
Cm           Gm
Do not spray into eyes –
Dm                 C            Dm C Gm F
I have sprayed you into my eyes.

3:10 pm: Capa pends death
Quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colours and cares glaze to grey
Shriveled and stricken to dots
The left hand grasps what the body grasps not
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Le photographe est mort
3.1415, alive, no longer my amour
Fated for home, May of '54
Doors open like arms, my love
Painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing
Reunited with his leg

Chorus:
And with you, Taro
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Taro, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes

Hey, Taro!
