alt-J – Taro (Ukulele)

  Am G Dm     C                Am                    G
Indo - china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road

Dm        C         Am             G
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,

Dm              C               G Dm Am
They advance as does his chance oh 

Gm                 Am    G
 very yellow white flash.

Dm          C                       Am                      G
  A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,

Dm                C
Burst so high finally Capa lands, 

Am               G    Dm              C
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance

     Gm                    Dm
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,

         Am                  Gm              Dm C Gm Dm Am G Dm C
foe, him five yards from his leg, From you Taro.

Gm           Dm          Am                 G            Am Gsus4 Am Gsus4
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.

  Am G Dm  C                 Am                          G            
3:10   pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes

    Dm                C              Am                         G
All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,

Dm                        C               G Dm Am
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not oh 

   Gm              Am   G
le photographe est mort.

Dm  C     Am                 G     Dm                     C
 3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54

      Am                G    Dm               C
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great closeness

   Gm                 Dm
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,

    Am             Gm                  Dm C Gm Dm Am G Dm C
re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.

Gm           Dm          Am                 G            Am Gsus4...
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.
