KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR
(Words and Music by Bob Dylan)
1973, 1976 Ram's Horn Music
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use 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, 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.
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
Keep on knocking,

This is probably the best place to get them...It gives us music junkies a
sense of self worth...If you have little or no regard for our feelings,
you can just put up a search on the net. For example, if you're using Alta
Vista, under "search for" you would type <Bob Dylan +lyrics>.
If you plan on doing the Guns 'n' Roses version, you'll have to add in
some ai ai aiaiaia's....Here's how Dylan did it in '73:
Mama take this badge offa' 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
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel I'm knockin' on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

I can give you the GnR version of this song:
Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knocking on Heavens Door
CHORUS: Kn-Kn-Knocking on Heavens door
Kn-Knocking on heavens door
Kn-Knocking on Heavens door
Kn-Knocking on heavens door
Mama put my guns to the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is coming down
Feels like I'm knocking on Heavens door
Repeat Chorus
You just better start sniffin' your own
Rank ubjugation jack 'cause it's just you
Against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
be luck if you could get out of life alive
Kn-Kn-Knocking on heavens door
> Thanks alot,
You're welcome...
I hope this helps you (I don't know whether the original Bob Dylan version
is different or not!)
Stephi
Ho!Ho!Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
And many miles be still to go,
But under a tall tree I will lie,
And let the clouds go sailing by.
