Oh, Phineas Gage was 25 years old in 1848.

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

C                                           F
He was blasting rock when something distracted him.

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

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

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

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

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