Can you hear me knocking man, I’m knocking on your door

A E
Can you hear me knocking, man, I’m knocking at your door

B A E - G F# F E -B
You won’t even stop to see just what it is I’m knocking for

E A E
You can hear me knocking, but you won’t let me in

A E
You can hear me knocking, but you won’t let me in

A E- G F# F E B
‘Cause your life is full of sin

Steps= 1 note only E
Now, I ain’t no big bad wolf trying to strut my stuff

E E
Trying to show you I’m cool, trying to show you I’m tough

E E
Ain’t gonna climb down your chimney, ain’t gonna huff and puff

E E7
Just gonna keep knocking ‘till you’ve had enough

A E
So when you hear me knocking, baby, won’t you open up the door

B A E G F# F E B
Then you’re surely gonna find out what it is I’m knocking for

E A E
You can hear me knocking, come on open up the door

A E
You can hear me knocking, come on open up the door

B A E G F# F E B
You’re gonna find out what it is, what it is I’m knocking for

E…..
Yeah, come on open up the door
