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

[Post-Chorus: Axl Rose]
Ooh, yeah-yeah
Hey, yeah-yeah-yeah

[Verse 2: Axl Rose]
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
Let me hear you
[Chorus: Axl Rose]
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Whoa-oh, oh-oh-whoa-oh
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Hey-hey, yeah
Whoa, yeah

[Spoken: Axl Rose]
Alright, I got a picture to show y'all, I found it today
Size eighty!
Now the melody maker, I think it was an early record calling us "weak AC-DC"
I ain't no Bon Scott, but that's a whole lotta Rosie to me
