Hank Green – Phineas Gage (Guitar)

D                    C              G
Oh, Phineas Gage was 25 years old in 1848.

D                     C                        G
And he liked his job, working at the railroad, but he had another fate.

D                                           C
He was blasting rock when something distracted him.

D                              C
And he forgot to put the tamping sand in.

D                         C                     G
He shoved the tamping rod into that little hole onto the blasting powder.

D                   C                                    G
And suddenly his entire left frontal lobe had been turned into clam chowder.

D       C       G                      D     C     G
Oh this is the story of Phineas Gage, who was stabbed in the brain.

D       C       G                      D     C     G
And once your frontal lobe has been destroyed, you can never go home again.
