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
[Refrão]
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
[Refrão]
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.
[Refrão]
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
