Intro: C

Verse 1:
C
I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know
C                         G
Who lived and suffered in this world below
C                                                      F
They've gone off to heaven, but I wanna know
C                        G           C
What are they doing there now?

Chorus:
C
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today
C                                                G
Where sin and sorrow have all gone away
C                                     F
Peace is fine like a river they say
C                            G                      C
But what are they doing there now?

Verse 2:
C
There are some whose hearts were burdened with care
C                                                 G
Who spent their moments of fighting and tears
C                                                   F
They clung to the cross with trembling and fear
C                            G                      C
Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)

Verse 3:
C
There are some who were poor and often despised
C                                                               G
They looked up towards heaven with tear-blinded eyes
C                                          F
While people heedless and deaf to their cries
C                            G                     C
Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)
