E              B            F#m
Mama take this badge off of me
E       B         A
I can't use it anymore
E            B                        F#m
It's getting dark, too dark to see
E          B                   A
I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door
 
[Chorus]
E             B                    F#m
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
E             B                    A
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
E             B                    F#m
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
E             B                    A
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

E           B           F#m
Mama put my guns in the ground
E       B             A
I can't shoot them anymore
E               B               F#m
That long black cloud is comin' down
E          B                    A
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
 
[Chorus]
E             B                    F#m
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
E             B                    A
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
E             B                    F#m
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
E             B                    A
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
