A slow melodic solo in Em pentatonic can really get the crowd into it. We also use it for guest vocalists, if we can't find any other song to do together. The problem has been that the tune is too short...with only two lyrics. So I've added two more lyrics to finish it off a little better. The tune was originally from a movie and is sung while the sheriff lay dying. So picture the good guy with his white hat on the dusty ground in his final moments of life...reflecting on the life he knew. The two extra verses are phrased exactly like the previous two. Forget about other versions of the tune you've heard...make it your own version...with your own style and flare. Knocking on Heaven's Door -Bob Dylan G D Am7 Mama, take this badge ... G D C I can't use it ... G D Am7 It's getting dark, ... G D C Feel I'm knocking on ... G D C Knock..knock..knocking ... G D C Knock..knock..knocking ... G D C Knock..knock..knocking on ...
