"Looking Forward To The Past"
 by Tommy Emmanuel 
 (feat. Rodney Crowell)

[INTRO]
G ~ G7 ~

[VERSE]
          G
There's a girl I used to know
            G
About three broken hearts ago.
  G
I married her and left her 
       G
in the dark.
G
Vicksburg her it now,
        G
And I'm headed there somehow
      G
Or to see if I can kindle, 
         G
that old spark.

[CHORUS 1]
Dm7             C      G
She had that Louisiana sizzle.
Dm7          C               G
She had that sleepy southern sass.
         Dm7       C
(When) I split the blanket 
         G
down the middle.
Em              D
Since then it's all been
         C 
downhill fast.
Em          D              G
I'm looking forward to the past.

[VERSE]
      G
I'm a Mississippi man
      G
And a Conway Twitty fan.
      G
And I haven't heard a song 
          G
I like in years.
  G
I drive a pulp wood truck
          G
(And) I'm makin' on His book,
           G
And I'd be ready when my Saviour
     G
 reappears.

[CHORUS 2]
Dm7            C
If you want to think I'm dumb 
    G
and lazy,
Dm7        C              G
Touch me entirely without class.
Dm7       C              G
But if you knew how Mama raised me,
Em            D             C
You know it's you comes all crashed.
Em          D              G
I'm looking forward to the past.

[VERSE]
       G
He who lives and learns,
        G
Can't renegotiate the terms
       G
On the frickin' frackin' future
        G
Full of carbon copy crap.
    G
The stakes are through the roof
            G
But there's very little crew.
       G
We can find fresh food and water
          G             
somewhere out there 
        G
off the map, yeah

[VERSE]
       G
Well I cut my teeth on hurt,
      G
And I slung my shared dirt,
      G
And I blame my self for everything
       G
 goin' wrong.
        G
'What's done is done', They say.
           G
If there's hell, we have to pay.
         G
I might admit, 
                          G
I must have known it all along.

[CHORUS 3]
Dm7          C
I don't know two nickels 
       G
from a quarter.
Dm7              C
I don't know my shirt down 
        G
from my ass.
Dm7         C
This modern world's so 
       G
out of order.
Em           D              
I don't know just how long 
       C
it can last.
Em          D              G
I'm looking forward to the past,
Em          D              G
I'm looking forward to the past.
