Song lyrics
Mama take this badge from me 
I can't use it anymore 
It's getting dark too dark to see 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

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

Woah, yeaha 
Woah, yeaha 

Mama put my guns in the ground 
I can't shoot them anymore 
That cold black cloud is comin' down 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

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

"You just better start sniffin' your 
Own rank subjugation 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" 

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, yeah 
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, 
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door, woah, woah yeah 
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door, 
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door, woah yeah 
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door, 
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door, woah, oh yeah

this song is amazing. somehow i want a version of it played at my funeral. i believe this was one of their best songs, along with november rain, paradise city, sweet child o' mine, welcome to the jungle, patience, dont cry, and civil war. Guns N Roses are one of the best bands of all time!!

Jesus, PEOPLE!! This is the greatest song of all time! Seriously! We got to remeber that it was Bob Dylan, the most talented songwriter ever, who wrote it! And hearing Guns 'N Roses sing it just adds it to the very top!

Guns 'N Roses rocks! It's a real band from a beautiful decade!!

I agree with whoever said they wanted the song to be played in their funeral It is the new fucking amazing grace!!
