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
Am 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
Am 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
Am 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
