  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh~
            G                      D                  Am 
              Ma, take this badge off of me
            G          D              C 
              I can't use it anymore
            G                 D                          Am 
              It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
            G             D                                   C     C  D 
              Feel I'm knocking on heaven's door

              Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
              Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
              Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
              Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

              Ma, take these guns away from me
              I can't shoot them anymore
              That long black cloud's following me
              I think I'm knocking on heaven's door

                          Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
                          Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
                          Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
                          Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
                                      *Solo*   (verse & chorus)

              Ma, wipe these tears from my eyes
              I won't shed them anymore
              There's a long black cloud comin' down on me
              I must be knockin' on heaven's door

             Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
             Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
             Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
             Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
                    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
