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

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