Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh~
                        Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh~
                                                                Ma, take this badge off of me
                                                I can't use it anymore
                                                                   It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
                                                                            Feel I'm knocking 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

              Ma, take these guns away from me
              I can't shoot them anymore
              That long black cloud's following me
              I think I'm knocking 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
                                      *Solo*   (verse & [bad word] 

              Ma, wipe these tears from my eyes
              I won't shed them anymore
              There's a long black [bad word]  down on me
              I must be 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
                                 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                                  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
