Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door

That long black cloud is coming down
Feel I'm knocking 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, ooh yeah
Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door
