Taro

 Dm C Gm     F                
Indo - china, Capa jumps Jeep,
Dm                    C
 two feet creep up the road
Gm        F         Dm           
To photo, to record meat lumps and 
  C
war,
Gm              F               C
They advance as does his chance 
 Gm Dm
oh
Cm                 Dm    C
 very yellow white flash.
Gm          F                    
  A violent wrench grips mass, 
   Dm                      C
rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Gm                F
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
Dm               C    Gm        
Mine is a watery pit. Painless 
      F
with immense distance
Continues after the ad
     Cm                    Gm
From medic from colleague, friend, 
enemy,
         Dm                  Cm   
foe, him five yards from his leg, 
           Gm F Cm Gm Dm C Gm F
From you Taro.
Cm           Gm          Dm     
Do not spray into eyes - I have 
            C            Dm Csus4 
sprayed you into my eyes.
Dm Csus4


verse 2
  Dm C Gm  F             
3:10   pm, Capa pends death, 
    Dm                          C
quivers, last rattles, last chokes
    Gm                F           
All colours and cares glaze to 
   Dm                         C
grey, shrivelled and stricken to 
dots,
Gm                        F 
Left hand grasps what the body 
              C Gm Dm
grasps not oh
   Cm              Dm   C
le photographe est mort.
Gm  F     Dm                 C  
 3.1415, alive no longer my 
   Gm                     F
amour, faded for home May of '54
      Dm                C    
Doors open like arms my love, 
Gm               F
Painless with a great closeness
   Cm                 Gm
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after 
nothing,
    Dm             Cm             
re-united with his leg and with 
     Gm F Cm Gm Dm C Gm F
you, Taro.
Cm           Gm          Dm     
Do not spray into eyes - I have 
            C            Dm Csus4
sprayed you into my eyes.
