VERSE 1:

          E6sus2sus4                         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
          E6sus2sus4             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
          E6sus2sus4             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
E6sus2sus4              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


CHORUS:

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:

E6sus2sus4                  G        D
Henry got hit by lightening twice in head
    Em                       G              Bm
He stood and walked away, we thought he was dead
E6sus2sus4                    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
E6sus2sus4                         G             D
The bank men, they came and wrote things down on paper
   Em                   G               Bm
We all went outside and just stood around
E6sus2sus4                                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


CHORUS:

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:

E6sus2sus4                    G            D
Dry endless plains, and we've suffered the worst
Em                       G           Bm
Are we being punished or are we just cursed?
E6sus2sus4                 G          D
It's almost ten years, and no drop of rain
Em                               G           Bm
Only mocking blue skies bringing more of the same
E6sus2sus4                      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
E6sus2sus4               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.


CHORUS (Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Tompkins, and Gillian Jacobs sing background):

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



Enjoy!
