Some day mother will die and I'll get the money
D G Em A B G Em A
Mom leans down and says, "My sentiments exactly
Bb G A
you son of a bitch" I palindrome I

Chorus:
B G Em A

(I palindrome I)
Bm D G D Em G A
And I am a snake head eating the head on the opposite side
(snake head) (snake head)
G D

Verse 2:
See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
see the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now I'll help it decide I palindrome I

(Chorus)

Bridge ( The bass is weird here. Maybe the flatted third? ):
G A B A(bass C#) D Em D(F#) G
"Son I am able," she said, "though you scare me." "Watch," said I,
A B A(C#) Bm(D) Em D G A
"Beloved," I said, "watch me scare you though" Said she: "Able am I, son..."

Verse 3:
See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
(egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
see the hands of my offspring making windmills
(egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
Dad palindrome dad. I palindrome I

(Chorus)
