Looking for tab/chords - "What are they doing in heaven today"

[kitch2k]

Hi All,

Im new to the guitar and thought someone would be able to help me out.

I'm looking for chords/tabs for "What are they doing in heaven today" By Washington Phillips.
Even the "Be Good Tanyas" version will do just fine.

I have scoured the net looking for it but to no avail.

Any help is appriciated!

Thanks,

Give me a youtube link to the song you want and I can give it a shot.

Im sure it's a really simple song... 3-4 chords max

I'm at work where I cant listen to it. Give me about 12 hours and I'll get to it.

The chords aren't difficult. The first chord is a C which is hammered on at times. You also have to first play an upstroke and then the downstroke.


like so:


--0--0-----0---0--------
--1--1-----1---1--------
--0--0-----0---0--------
--2--2-----2---0-h-2----
--3--3-----3---3--------

and then the C chord without the hammer on 4 times. Then it goes to G and then to F then back to C. Okay, I did it with the lyrics so it should help. There's no variation beyond this as far as I can tell. Tell me if it helps or whether you want it differently.

Code:

C
I'm thinking today of friends that I used to know
C------------------------G
Who lived and suffered in this world below
--------C----------------------F
They're gone off to heaven, but I want to know
C--------------G---------C
What are they doing there now?
----F---------------------C
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today
---------------------------G
Where sin and sorrow have all gone away
C--------------------F
Peace abounds like a river they say
-----C------------G----------C
Oh, what are they doing there now?

sorry about the lines but I couldnt get the chords to stay in position otherwise.

Thank you very much for the help. It sounds good.
I wasn't really expecting someone to volunteer to tab a song for me, so thank you.

[bonjovirules]

Youtube links to the song or posting an mp3 make it so much easier to tab songs.  Most people come in requesting a song that nobody has heard of and is impossible to find online.
