I know I've heard a version of Bob Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door that had 3 verses, but I can't find it. I need to prove to another Dylan fan that it exists. If you could give me the lyrics to the verse, that would be great. Thank you. Please respond to rclogston@hotmail.com |

It seems that Dylan used over a dozen verses in various peformances and takes. I listened to my soundtrack recording and there are only two verses, with chorus after each: Mama take this badge off of me Mama put my guns on the ground |

12 Jan 04 - 06:55 PM (#1091488) Subject: Lyr Add: KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR (Bob Dylan) From: The Fooles Troupe This seems to be a fairly common request here. And we always get the same few verses. It has been claimed that Bob Dylan used a dozen different verses in various live performances. Many other groups have also sung the song. So I'm going to start off with a few verses. Links are nice, but I want the verses here please. Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a Bob Dylan song from 1973. The official Dylan lyric sheet has two verses: Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore It's getting dark, too dark for me to see I feel like I'm 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 long black cloud is comin' down I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Dylan sings a third verse live: Mama, wipe the blood from my face I can't see through it anymore It's a feeling that I just can't trace I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Indigo Girls do the following third verse: Mama, wipe this blood from my face I can't see through the walls Six white horses coming to carry me away I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... Then there is this verse sung by Michelle Malone (it breaks both the meter and the rhyme scheme - ABBB in favor of ABAB). Mama, take these chains off of me 'Cause I don't want them anymore They're getting too damn heavy, I'm crawling across the floor I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door... OK, guys, let 'er rip! And after we have got most of the serious ones, maybe Mr Thread Creep will provide a few new ones.... :-) .. and perhaps a few attributions wold be nice - unless you are ashamed of writing them.... :-) Robin |

13 Jan 04 - 12:36 PM (#1091920) Subject: RE: Knockin' on Heaven's Door - additional verses From: Chief Chaos The same first two that everyone else uses. By the way it is a good album. The song seems to have more impact with him singing it knowing that he was indeed knocking on heaven's door at the time. |

(Click on Songs, select K) One is pretty far out- Dylan changing the subject of the original song. Mama tow my barge down to sea Pull it down from shore to shore Two brown eyes are lookin' at me Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. |
