Knocking On Heavens Door By GunsUnURoses Key: H - hammer-on / - slide P - pull-off ^ - half bend ^^ - full bend ~ - vibrato This is the picking at the very beginning of the song. The picking varies throughout, and you should do whatever feels best instead of trying to restrict yourself to how it sounds on record. GN'R is constantly mutating this song in concert anyway (even doing it with a reggae beat). G5 D C

Chorus (if you're really concerned about playing it like the

CD, listen to it for rhythm. But this song has been done by so many people so differently that you might as well give it your own feel.) G5 D5 C5 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, C5 Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah G5 D5 C5 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, C5 (no lyrics) G5 D5 C5 Ooh, knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door C5 Ooh yeah G5 D5 C5 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door C5 Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

sound of the whistle the guitar continues "like" that (like, not equal...):

This part, with distorsion sounds more authenticy! Note for Beginers or quickly readings: if you think that the Tab of the

Introduction is difficult to play , you can try that:

Chords: G C F C G F.E. with G chord: Play the chord up to down (6th string to 1st, E to E) quickly, and the strings E A D E A D ; change to C and do the same; BUT with F, C chord play the strings : E A D (only one time) and G to end...Come to the G initial and repeat ... (Is better you listen de Tape, CD or LP).
