I'm thinking [D] of friends [G] whom I used to know
[D] Who live [A] and suffer in this world below
[D] They've gone off to heaven, but I [G] wanna know
[D] What are [G] they doing there [D] now?
Well, what are they doing in heaven today?
Sin and sorrow [A] all done away
[D] Peace abound [G] like a river they say
[D] What are [G] they doing there [D] now?
There's some whose hearts [G] were burdened with care
[D] They paid for their moment [A] with fighting and tears
[D] They clung to the cross
[G] Trembling in fear, [D] but what are [G] they doing [D] there now?
