Mama, take this badge off of me 
G       D         C 
I can?t use it anymore 
G            D                 Am7 
It?s getting dark, too dark for me to see 
G                   D                    C 
I feel like I?m knocking on heaven?s door 
 
G             D                    Am7 
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven?s door 
G            D           Am7 
Mama, put my guns in the ground 
G       D             C 
I can?t shoot them anymore 
G               D               Am7 
That long black cloud is coming down 
G               D                    C 
I feel like I?m knocking on heaven?s door 
G             D                    Am7 
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven?s door
