1.  Strophe:
G         D                              Am
Mama, take this badge off of me,
G        D          C
I can't use it anymore.
G             D                                 Am
It's gettin' dark too dark for me to see,
G                  D                             C
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Refrain:
G                     D                              Am
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
G                     D                              C
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
G                     D                              Am
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
G                     D                              C
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,

2.  Strophe:
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.
