| Subject: Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Plus some) |
| We always use this tune as a cool jam tune on stage. |
| 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 |
| 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 |
