Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door has been performed by a lot of artists in different musicstyles, blues, soul, rock or gospel, by a.o Eric Clapton and Guns 'N Roses.
The lyrics beneath I found on http://www.lyrics007.com/, and is the text as performed by Guns 'N Roses. I really think the best and most powerfull performance of this song was done by Guns 'N Roses.

If you want to play it yourself on guitar, well its easily done using a chord scheme like:
G D Am
G D C
G D Am
G D C
This scheme is the basic of this song, but you can alter it anyway you like and add your own interpretation, good luck.

Knockin' On Heavens Door



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
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 cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels 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

"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
