Verse
G#
Richard was a stout-hearted man
C# G#
He'd been through the bulk of his live
G#
He no longer spoke to most of his folks
C# G#
And was abandoned by his wife
G#
Rolling down the road one night alone
C#
He came upon a terrible sight
G#
An older woman laid bleeding in the road
D# G#
And her screams bout filled the night
[Chorus]
G#
She said "Look backwards on your future,
C# G#
And look forward to your past
G#
Everything upon which you base your faith
A#m D#
Is made of vapour and it won't last
G#
It's only everything in your shared reality
C#
That keeps our souls held fast
C# G#
So look backwards on your future
D# G#
And look forward to your past"
[Verse]
G#
Richard woke the next morning and spoke
C# G#
He said "There's something i feel i must do!"
G#
He called up all of his natural-born kids
C# G#
And all his money from the bank he withdrew
G#
He changed his mind about everything
C#
He'd ever felt about what's bad and good
G#
He fixed a loudspeaker to the roof of his car
D# G#
And he sang to everyone he could
[Chorus]
G#
He sang "Look backwards on your future
C# G#
and look forward to your past
G#
Get your sense of time from the acient Hawaiians
A#m D#
Your sense of self from the hydrogen blast
G#
You'll be what came before, you were what is is to come!"
C#
He bellowed out to everyone he past
C# G#
So "Look backwards on your future
D# G#
and look forward to your past!"

[Verse]
G#
Richard got arrested in Loretto
C# G#
He was caused in too much mischief for the sisters
G#
He spent an evening in the clink and they went home and turned to drink
C# G#
And gave his all, yes he was a double-fister
G#
The issue was the kind of past he had behind him
C#
Most of what he lived was wasted days
G#
The history he faced was an ocean made of empty
D# G#
And a destiny you wouldn't want to save
[Chorus]
G#
Still I say "Look backwards on your future,
C# G#
and look forward to your past
G#
If you haven't gone and made a mess of your self
A#m D#
You just might end up with the last laugh
G#
Every little dot of pe-pe-presence and thought
C#
For another will give you life class
C# G#
So look backwards on your future,
D# G#
and look forward to your past"
[Verse]
G#
This particular assemblage of molecules and memories
C#
Someday soon may just run out of gas
C# G#
So look backwards on your future
D# G#
And look forward to your past
