verse 1: 

          E6/4                         G              D 
You can't live without hope that things will change for the better 
          Em                                G            Bm 
You can't live without the dream of someone reading your letter 
          E6/4             G            D        
We've had dust storms before and spit out the dirt  
      Em                       G               Bm 
We've had droughts before, but none quite like this 
          E6/4             G           D 
We've had winds that cut up your face all to pieces  
      Em                              G              Bm 
Black blizzards that stripped all the paint off your car 
E6/4              G          D 
Fires like twisters, no sisters of mercy 
     Em                    G         Bm 
They come with no warning, only that sound  
Em                       G          Bm 
God is roaring drunk and out on the town 


 

D          G                    D 
Next year, everything will come good 
    Em                            G            Bm 
The rains they will fall and will dance on the hood 
      D                        G         D 
We'll fill up our bellies with plentiful food 
      Em                 G          
We'll eat, drink, and be merry 
      D                Em7/B                
Yeah, next year people wait and see 
      G                 Bm 
We're next year people, you and me 


verse 2: 

E6/4                  G        D 
Henry got hit by lightening twice in head 
    Em                       G              Bm   
He stood and walked away, we thought he was dead 
E6/4                    G            D 
Now he talks funny, says he's wired to the sky  
   Em                             G            Bm 
He walks for miles and miles, and no one knows why 
E6/4                         G             D  
The bank men, they came and wrote things down on paper 
   Em                   G               Bm 
We all went outside and just stood around  
E6/4                                G           D 
We were glad when they left, they brought nothing but heartache 
    Em                          D             Bm 
And the seed we had planted, it stayed in the ground  


 

D          G                    D 
Next year, everything will come good 
    Em                            G            Bm 
The rains they will fall and will dance on the hood 
      D                        G         D 
We'll fill up our bellies with plentiful food 
      Em                 G          
We'll eat, drink, and be merry 
      D                Em7/B                
Yeah, next year people wait and see 
      G                 Bm 
We're next year people, you and me 


verse 3: 

E6/4                    G            D 
Dry endless plains, and we've suffered the worst 
Em                       G           Bm 
Are we being punished or are we just cursed? 
E6/4                 G          D 
It's almost ten years, and no drop of rain 
Em                               G           Bm 
Only mocking blue skies bringing more of the same 
E6/4                      G          D 
Our mother was crying when they sent us to stay 
     Em                         G        Bm       
With strangers in a town and we both ran away 
E6/4               G     D 
Back to the dust and see Henry again 
Em                                  G      
We're creatures of habit, don't you know 
Em             G           Bm 
One day we'll reap what we sow. 
  

 

D          G                    D 
Next year, everything will come good 
    Em                            G            Bm 
The rains they will fall and will dance on the hood 
      D                        G         D 
We'll fill up our bellies with plentiful food 
      Em                 G          
We'll eat, drink, and be merry 
      D                Em7/B                
Yeah, next year people wait and see 
      G                 Bm 
We're next year people, you and me
