Comfortably Numb

(Gilmour/Waters)

From the album The Wall

This is taken directly from the guitar tab book so I'm pretty certain it's correct. The notes in ( ) mean "Ghost note (partially implied)" if you didn't know, so go figure.

Verse 1:
        Bm                       A
         Hello, is there anybody in there?
                     G      (G/F#) Em7
Just nod if you can hear me
         Bsus2
Is there anyone home?

Bsus2                        A     Asus4 A
Come on now, I hear you?re feeling down,      well,
G           (G/F#)Em7
I can ease your  pain
     Bsus2
And get you on your feet again

Bsus2                       A            Asus4 A
Relax, I?ll need some information first
G               (G/F#) Em7
Just the basic facts
          Bm7
Can you show me where it hurts?

Pre-chorus:
D        A
There is no pain you are receding
D                                A
A distant ship?s smoke on the horizon
C                                    G
You are only coming through in waves
C                                        G
Your lips move but I can?t hear what you?re saying
(G7)  D                       A
When I was a child I had a fever
    D                               A
My hands felt just like two balloons
G/B  C                                  G
    Now I?ve got that feeling once again
                           C
I can?t explain, you would not understand
  G
This is not how I am

Chorus:
Asus4 Asus2 A G/B Csus2           G5             D
I       have become comfortably numb

Chorus:
Asus4 Asus2 A G/B Csus2           G5             D
I       have become comfortably numb

Verse 2:
Bsus2                 Asus2
Okay, just a little pinprick
              G (G/F#) Em7
There?ll be no more ah!
Bsus2
But you may feel a little sick

          Bsus2*        Asus2
Can you stand up? I do believe it?s working, good
                  G*           [E]     Em7
That?ll keep you going through the show
     Bsus2
Come on, it?s time to go

Pre-chorus:
D        A
There is no pain you are receding
D                                A
A distant ship?s smoke on the horizon
C                                    G
You are only coming through in waves
C                                        G
Your lips move but I can?t hear what you?re saying
     D     A
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
D                       A
Out of the corner of my eye
G/B C                                G
     I turned to look but it was gone
                         C                                 G
I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone

Chorus:
    Asus4 Asus2 A G/B Csus2        G5             D
And I          have become comfortably numb
