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

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