  Ma, take this badge off of me
G         D/F#       Am7
  I can't use it any more
G      D/F#          Am7
  It's getting dark, too dark to see
G               D/F#                 Am7
  Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

[Chorus]
G               D                    Am7
  Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
G               D                    Am7
  Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
