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)
