Lyrics Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Roger McGuinn

You've been such a wonderful audience
I will do one more
This is a song I recorded with Bob Dylan back
I guess it was in the middle 70's
For the soundtrack of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

Mama, take this badge off from me
I don't need it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Sing it with me

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
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

Mama, wipe this blood off of my face
I can't see you anymore
I need a new horse and a new hiding place
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

One more time

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Could you hear knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Thank you all so much
Muchas gracias
Buenas noches
