              ( C G Dm ) 
Mama, take this badge of me 
I can't use it anymore. 
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see 
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door. 
( C G Dm ) 
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 
( C G Dm ) 
Mama, put my guns in the ground 
I can't shoot them anymore. 
That long black cloud is comin' down 
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. 
( C G Dm ) 
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
