[Intro: Axl Rose]

Ooh, ooh

Hey

[Verse 1: Axl Rose]

Mama, take this badge from me

I can't use it anymore

It's gettin' dark, too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

[Chorus: Axl Rose]

Knock, knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey-hey, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ooh

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, oh, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, aye-hey, yeah

Ooh-oh, yeah, oh, yeah, aw

[Verse 2: Axl Rose]

Mama, put my guns in the ground (Ooh)

I can't shoot them anymore (Ooh)

That cold black cloud is comin' down (Ooh)

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door (Ooh)

[Chorus: Axl Rose]

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey-hey, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, aye-aye, yeah

Ooh

[Spoken: Josh Richman]

You just better start sniffin' your own rank subjugation, Jack

Because 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

[Outro: Axl Rose, Choir, Both]

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey-hey, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, no, no, no, woah-ooh-oh

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, no, no, no, woah, no

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, woah-woah, woah-yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, yeah

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, yeah, oh
