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.
