Biografía:
The Deslondes (formerly Sam Doores + Riley Downing & The Tumbleweeds) are a New Orleans-based country-soul, swamp-boogie band. They combine elements of early Stax, Sun and Atlantic records with the influence of a more raw, stripped-down sound gleaned off field recordings from Alan Lomax and Mississippi Records catalogue.
In their writing as well as their lives, The Deslondes three principal songwriters—Sam Doores, Riley Downing and Cameron Snyder—endeavor to carry on the traveling country-troubadour tradition of their heroes Woody Guthrie

[Chorus]

What are they doing in heaven today?
A7 D7
My sin and my sorrow have all washed away
Em G C G
Peace be bound like the river they say
G D7 G
Oh what are they doing right now?
[Verse]
Em G C G
I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know
A7 D7
They lived and they suffered in this world alone
Em G C G
But now they've gone up to heaven and I've got to know
G D7 G
What are they doing right now?
[Chorus]
Em G
What are they doing in heaven today?
A7 D7
My sin and my sorrow have all washed away
Em G C G
Peace be bound like the river they say
G D7 G
Oh what are they doing right now?
[Verse]
Em G C G
There are those who are poor and often despised
A7 D7
They look up to heaven through tear blinded eyes
Em G C G
But the people are heedless, deaf to their cries
G D7 G
What are they doing right now?
[Chorus]
Em G
What are they doing in heaven today?
A7 D7
My sin and my sorrow have all washed away
Em G C G
Peace be bound like the river they say
G D7 G
Oh what are they doing right now?
For what it's worth I play the D7 in the final line rooted in A, like so -
