Verse:
     A6add9               G       D/F#
You can't live without hope that things will change for the better
     Em7/B               G      Bmadd11
You can't live without the dream of someone reading your letter
     A6add9         G      D/F#
We've had dust storms before and spit out the dirt
   Em7/B          G        Bmadd11
We've had droughts before, but none quite like this
     A6add9         G      D/F#
We've had winds that cut up your face all to pieces
   Em7/B              G       Bmadd11
Black blizzards that stripped all the paint off your car
A6add9         G     D/F#
Fires like twisters, no sisters of mercy
   Em7/B         G     Bmadd11
They come with no warning, only that sound
Em            G     Bmadd11 F#9 A9
God is roaring drunk and out on the town



Chorus:
D     G          D
Next year, everything will come good
  Em7/B             G      Bmadd11
The rains they will fall and will dance on the hood
   D            G     D
We'll fill up our bellies with plentiful food
   Em7/B       G
We'll eat, drink, and be merry
   D        Em7/B
Yeah, next year people wait and see
   G         Bmadd11      F#9 A9 Bmadd11
We're next year people, you and me



Verse:
A6add9           G    D/F#
Henry got hit by lightening twice in head
  Em7/B          G       Bmadd11
He stood and walked away, we thought he was dead
A6add9            G      D/F#
Now he talks funny, says he's wired to the sky
  Em7/B             G      Bmadd11
He walks for miles and miles, and no one knows why
A6add9              G       D/F#
The bank men, they came and wrote things down on paper
  Em7/B        G        Bmadd11
We all went outside and just stood around
A6add9                  G      D/F#
We were glad when they left, they brought nothing but heartache
  Em             G       Bmadd11  F#9 A9
And the seed we had planted, it stayed in the ground



Chorus:
D     G          D
Next year, everything will come good
  Em7/B             G      Bmadd11
The rains they will fall and will dance on the hood
   D            G     D
We'll fill up our bellies with plentiful food
   Em7/B       G
We'll eat, drink, and be merry
   D        Em7/B
Yeah, next year people wait and see
   G         Bmadd11      F#9 A9 Bmadd11
We're next year people, you and me



Verse:
A6add9            G      D/F#
Dry endless plains, and we've suffered the worst
Em7/B          G      Bmadd11
Are we being punished or are we just cursed?
A6add9           G     D/F#
It's almost ten years, and no drop of rain
Em7/B              G      Bmadd11
Only mocking blue skies bringing more of the same
A6add9             G     D/F#
Our mother was crying when they sent us to stay
   Em7/B           G    Bmadd11
With strangers in a town and we both ran away
A6add9          G   D/F#
Back to the dust and see Henry again
Em7/B                G
We're creatures of habit, don't you know
Em       G      Bmadd11  F#9 A9
One day we'll reap what we sow.



Chorus:
D     G          D
Next year, everything will come good
  Em7/B             G      Bmadd11
The rains they will fall and will dance on the hood
   D            G     D
We'll fill up our bellies with plentiful food
   Em7/B       G
We'll eat, drink, and be merry
   D        Em7/B
Yeah, next year people wait and see
   G         Bmadd11
We're next year people, you and me
   D        Em7/B
Yeah, next year people wait and see
   G         Bmadd11   F#9 A9 Bmadd11
We're next year people, you and me



End:
F#9 A9 Bmadd11  F#9 A9 Bmadd11
