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

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