Knockin' on Heaven's Door

by Roger McGuinn

on Roger McGuinn & Band (Bonus Track Version) (1975)

Mama, take this badge away from me
I don't need it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
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
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, take these guns and bury them in the ground
For I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
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
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Can't you hear me knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Oh Lord I'm knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
I am knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
