Bob Dylan - Knocking on Heaven's Door Guitar chords, Lyrics, Tabs & Meaning


Woah... This is gonna be one of the most memorable days in my blogging life, Coz i am posting "Knocking on heavens door" today..

By far, Knocking on Heavens door has been the best song for me when it comes to meaningful music.... Bob Dylan is a genius, he indeed is. This song is covered by god knows how many artists till now, i play it once or twice a week atleast.

Alright, so lets get to the meaning of this song here. At first look, people might fail to understand the context of this song. This song looks like a song for all the war, killings, terrorism, and all those inhuman happenings. Bob Dylan has always been wiriting songs on such matters.

This song is about a soldier whos probably seen too much of war and killings and is really tired of all that. The badge is the badge of his army/country and he wants it removed because he can no longer wants to fight 'put my guns in the ground' and can no longer tell the right from the wrong, 'too dark to see', 'black cloud is comin' down' and feels like dying, 'knocking on heaven's door'. However he realises that his actions in life may have meant his entry into heaven isn't guaranteed - he has to knock on the door of heaven.


Second thoughts : why not relate the song to yourself? that is probabably what dylan did when he originaly wrote it, and i dont feel that you are forced to relate it to anything physical.. instead to a feeling or something of yourselves

Please comment if you need to share your meanings for this song, or if you think i have missed out on something. and the guitar chords are all yours

Hi,

Like i always say, "I dont believe in the Down up, up down" strumming patterns.. If you learn that way, you will be dependent on that.

I believe the strumming patterns shud come from within.. You need to listen to the song really carefully, and understand the Rhythm of the song, and play with the song a couple of times..

This song is one of the most covered songs of all time.. and they play the song in there own play.. Avril lavigne has a really acoustic version.. you can refer to that for the acoustic strumming pattern of the song.
