 G                                   D                       Am 
    Mama, take this badge off of me
 G                             D                   C 
    Cause I can' t use it anymore
 G                                     D                         Am 
    It' s getting dark, too dark to see
 G                                     D                                     C 
    I feel like I' m knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     Am 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     C 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     Am 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     C 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                         D                             Am 
    Mama, put that gun to the ground
 G                     D                       C 
    I can' t shoot them anymore
 G                                               D                           Am 
    There' s a long black cloud coming on down
 G                                     D                                     C 
    I feel like I' m knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     Am 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     C 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     Am 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
 G                                 D                                     C 
    Knock, knock, knocking on heaven' s door
