Phineas Gage

D                    C           
Oh, Phineas Gage was 25 years old
   G
 in 1848.
D                     C          
And he liked his job, working at 
              G
the railroad, but he had another 
fate.
D                                 
He was blasting rock when 
          C
something distracted him.
D                              C
And he forgot to put the tamping 
sand in.

D                         C      
He shoved the tamping rod into 
               G
that little hole onto the blasting 
powder.
D                   C            
And suddenly his entire left 
                        G
frontal lobe had been turned into 
clam chowder.


D       C       G               
Oh this is the story of Phineas 
       D     C     G
Gage, who was stabbed in the brain.
D       C       G               
And once your frontal lobe has 
       D     C     G
been destroyed, you can never go 
home again.
