More songs by Pink Floyd

This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

      Bm                      A
      Hello, is there anybody in there
                          G       D/F#  Em
      Just nod if you can hear me
               Bm
      Is there anyone home

   Bm                         A
   Come on now, I hear you're feeling down
        G          D/F#  Em
   Well I can ease your pain
               Bm
   And get you on your feet again

Bm                         A
Relax, I'll need some information first
G              D/F#  Em
Just the basic facts
        Bm
Can you show me where it hurts

    D                              A
      There is no pain, you are receding
    D                                 A     G/B
      A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
    C                                G      G/B
      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 had a fever
          D                            A    G/B
      My hands felt just like two balloons
      C                               G
      Now I've got that feeling once again, I can't explain
               G/B   C                             G
      You would not understand, this is not how I am

             A    G/B  C        G                D
             I---------- have become comfortably numb

   Bm                  A
   Okay, just a little pinprick
                   G     D/F#  Em
   There'll be no more
               Bm
   But you may feel a little sick

        Bm                          A
Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good
                 G             D/F#  Em
That'll keep you going through the show
     Bm
Come on, it's time to go

    D                              A
      There is no pain, you are receding
    D                                 A     G/B
      A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
    C                                G      G/B
      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   G/B
      Out of the corner of my eye
    C                              G                       G/B
      I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger
       C                                 G
      on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone

            A    G/B  C        G                D
            I---------- have become comfortably numb
