[Verse 1]
I'm [D]thinking of
[A]friends [D]who[G]m I used to know,
Who [D]lived and suffered
in this [A]world below
[Asus4]But they'[D]ve gone off to heaven,
but [G]I want to know
[D]What are they [G]doing there [D]now?

[Verse 2]
Oh, [D]what are they doing
in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are
[A]all done away?
[D]Peace abounds like a [G]river, they say.
But [D]what are they [G]doing there [D]now?

[Verse 3]
There's [D]some whose hearts
Were [G]burdened with care
They [D]paid for their moment with
[A]fighting [Asus4]and tears
[D]But they clung to the [Em]cross
[D]tre[G]mbling in fear
But [D]what are they [G]doing there [D]now?

[Verse 4]
[D]What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow
[A]are all done away?
[D]Peace abounds like a [Em]river[G] , th[Em]ey say.[G]

[Verse 5]
And there's [D]some whose bodies
[A]were [G]full of disease
Phys[D]icians and doctors couldn't
[A]give them [Asus4]much ease
[D]But they suffered 'til death
brought a [G]final release
But [D]what are they [G]doing there [D]now?

[Verse 6]
[Bm]What are they do[D]ing in heaven today,
Where [Bm]sin [D]and [Bm]sor r[D]ow
are [A]all done away?
[D]Peace abound[A]s l[D]ike a r[Em]iver,[G]
they [D]say.
What are they [G]doing there [D]now?

[Verse 7]
There's [D]some who were poor
[G]and often despised
They [D]looked up to heaven
with [A]tear- blinded eyes
While [D]people were heedless
and [G]deaf to their cries
But [D]what are they [G]do ing there [D]now?

[Verse 8]
[Bm]What are they do[D]ing in heaven today,
Where sin and [Bm]sor [D]row
[A]are all done away?
[D]Peace [Em]abounds like a river, they [G]say.[D]
What are they [G]do ing there
[D]now?
