 I can't use it anymore. 
G             D                 Am 
 It's gettin' dark, too dark to see

 I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Mama, put my guns in the ground 
I can't buy them anymore 
That long black train is comin' round 
I feel like I'm 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 
Just like so many times before
