Not sure if these are 100% correct, but i was watching Hank play and it looked and 
sounded like this was what he was playing. 
Standard tuning
DOh, Phineas Gage was C25 years old in G1848.
DAnd he liked his job, Cworking at the railroad, Gbut he had another fate.
DHe was blasting rock when something distractCed him.
DAnd he forgot to put the tampinCg sand in.
DHe shoved the tamping rod Cinto that little hole Gonto the blasting powder.
DAnd suddenly his entCire left frontal lobe had been turned Ginto clam chowder.
DOh this Cis the sGtory of Phineas Gage, wDho was CstabbGed in the brain.
DAnd once Cyour frGontal lobe has been desDtroyedC, you Gcan never go home again.
And so on. DFTBA
