Looking forward,looking back- Slim dusty Tune guitar down 1 step Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb The only tabs/chords I could find were rubbish so I sat down and worked it out myself. This is a beautiful song that we played at my Dads funeral and is one of Slims finest works.The chords written are what you play, ignoring the drop in tuning. The actual proper chords would be half a tone lower in name. You could play it with a normal tuning but you would have to play the E in a high position and the open chord sounds better (I think). Intro E,B,E,B,E

Looking ^Bforward, looking^E back, I've come a ^C#mlong way down the^G#m track got a l^C#mong way left to ^G#mgo, makin' son^Bgs from what I kn^Eow

Makin' se^Bnse of what I've se^Een, All the l^C#move we've had betw^G#meen You and ^C#mI along the t^G#mrack, looking fo^Brward, looking ^Eback

Looking ^Bforward, looking^E back, I've come a ^C#mlong way down the^G#m track got a ^C#mlong way left to^G#m go, makin' so^Bngs from what I k^Enow

If I'm alon^C#me at night I can see, through ^F#mall ^G#m trivial^C#mity of the day ^Band I'm ^Eok ,I just th^F#mink of those who a^Bre dear to me

Looking f^Borward, looking ^Eback, I've come a l^C#mong way down the ^G#mtrack got a ^C#mlong way left to^G#m go, makin' so^Bngs from what I k^Enow makin' s^Bongs from what I k^Enow, Looking for^Bward, looking b^Eack
