Dm Dm C C Gm Gm     F F                Dm Dm                    C C
Indo - china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
Gm Gm F F Dm Dm C C
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
Gm Gm F F C C Gm Gm Dm Dm
They advance as does his chance oh
Cm Cm Dm Dm C C
very yellow white flash.
Gm Gm F F Dm Dm C C
a violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Gm Gm F F
Burst so high finally Capa lands,


Dm Dm C C Gm Gm F F
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance
Cm Cm Gm Gm
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,
Dm Dm Cm Cm Gm Gm F F Cm Cm Gm Gm Dm Dm C C Gm Gm F F
foe, him five yards from his leg, From you Taro.
Cm Cm Gm Gm Dm Dm C C Dm Dm Csus4 Csus4 Dm Dm Csus4 Csus4
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.


Dm Dm C C Gm Gm F F Dm Dm C C
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
Gm Gm F F Dm Dm C C
All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,
Gm Gm F F C C Gm Gm Dm Dm
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not oh
Cm Cm Dm Dm C C
le photographe est mort.
Gm Gm F F Dm Dm C C Gm Gm F F
3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54


Dm Dm C C Gm Gm F F
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great closeness
Cm Cm Gm Gm
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,
Dm Dm Cm Cm Gm Gm F F Cm Cm Gm Gm Dm Dm C C Gm Gm F F
re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.
Cm Cm Gm Gm Dm Dm C C Dm Dm Csus4 Csus4
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.

About this song: Taro

Gerda Taro was a war photojournalist in the late 40's/early 50's. She died in her line of work when a tank collided into the side of a car she was riding on. The other important name in this song was Gerda's romantic interest, and colleague, Robert Capa. During the First Indochina War, Capa retreated from his Jeep in a hostile war zone to take pictures. He stepped on a landmine however, which blew apart his left leg. He was taken to a medical station where he died with his camera in his hand. Read more on Last.fm.
