Knocking On Heavens Door Ver 1 by Cream
Cream - Knocking On Heavens Door ver 1 guitar tab
Right here goes; this is Clapton’s classic track, Knocking on Heavens Door. It's by Clapton, not Cream but they wouldnt accept it under Claptons name!
He uses quite a clean tone with a reggae style on the album track if you want to copy his sound.
