    Verse 1
    I'm 
    thinking 
    of 

    friends 
    whom I 
    used 
    to know, 

    Who 
    lived 
    and 
    suffered 

    in this 
    world 
    below 

    But 
    they've 
    gone 
    off 
    to 
    heaven, 

    but 
    I 
    want 
    to know 

    What 
    are 
    they 
    doing 
    there 
    now? 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    what 
    are 
    they 
    doing 

    in 
    heaven 
    today, 

    Where 
    sin 
    and 
    sorrow 
    are 

    all 
    done 
    away? 

    Peace 
    abounds 
    like 
    a 
    river, 
    they say. 

    But 
    what 
    are 
    they 
    doing 
    there 
    now? 

    Verse 3
    There's 
    some 
    whose 
    hearts 

    Were 
    burdened 
    with care 

    They 
    paid 
    for 
    their 
    moment 
    with 

    fighting 
    and tears 

    But they 
    clung 
    to the 
    cross 

    trembling 
    in 
    fear 

    But 
    what 
    are 
    they 
    doing 
    there 
    now? 

    Verse 4
    What 
    are 
    they 
    doing 
    in 
    heaven 
    today, 

    Where 
    sin 
    and 
    sorrow 

    are all 
    done 
    away? 

    Peace 
    abounds 
    like 
    a 
    river
    , 
    they say. 

    What 
    are

    there 
    now? 

    Verse 5
    And 
    there's 
    some 
    whose 
    bodies 

    were 
    full 
    of 
    disease 

    Phys
    icians 
    and 
    doctors 
    couldn't 

    give 
    them 
    much 
    ease 

    But they 
    suffered 
    'til death 

    brought 
    a 
    final 
    release 

    But 
    what 
    are 
    they 
    doing 
    there 
    now? 

    Verse 6
    What

    they 
    do

    in heaven 
    today, 

    Where 
    sin 
    and 
    sor
    row 

    are 
    all 
    done 
    away? 

    Peace 
    abound
    s 
    like 
    a 
    river
    , 

    they 
    say. 

    What

    they 
    doing 
    there 
    now? 

    Verse 7
    There's 
    some 
    who were 
    poor 

    and often 
    despised 

    They 
    looked 
    up 
    to heaven 

    with 
    tear- 
    blinded 
    eyes 

    While 
    people 
    were heedless 

    and 
    deaf 
    to their 
    cries 

    But 
    what 
    are 
    they 
    do
    ing 
    there 
    now? 

    Verse 8
    What

    they 
    do
    ing 
    in 
    heaven 
    today, 

    Where

    sor
    row 

    are all 
    done 
    away? 

    Peace 
    abound

    river, 
    they 
    say. 

    What

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
