Knocking on Heaven's Door - Guitar Cover and Lesson

Hi Guys....Welcome to Guitar is Easy!

I am assuming, by now you are familiar enough with the basic guitar stuff to start of with songs. This is probably the most covered song ever. This song was originally performed by Bob Dylan. Over the years it has been covered by artists like Eric Clapton, Guns n Roses, it has appeared in movie soundtracks and so on. It is a very easy but very soulful song.

Chords used:

Am, G, Am7, D, C

Chords and Lyrics:

INTRO:  G-D,  C
 
G                 D            Am7
Mama take this badge off of me
G          D          C
I can't use it any-more
G              D                        Am7
It's getting dark, too dark for me to see
G            D                   C   (D)
I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door
 
 
CHORUS:
G                D                    Am7
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
G                D                    C   (D)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
G                D                    Am7
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
G                D                    C   (D)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 
 
G              D           Am7
Mama put my guns in the ground
G          D              C
I can't shoot them any-more
G                 D              Am7
That long black cloud is coming down
G            D                    C   
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
 
 The same pattern follows while ending the song

This is probably one of the easiest songs to play on the guitar since doesn't require bar chords. Play hard and practice. Make sure you feel the flow of the song.
