Bm A G D/F# Em
O.K., just a little pin prick, there'll be no more (scream),
Bm
But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up?
A G D/F# Em
I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going throught the show,
Bm
C'mon it's time to go
D A
There is no pain you are receding,
D A G/B
A distant ships smoke on the horizon,
C G
You are only coming through in waves,
C G
Your lips move, but I can't hear what your 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
I turned to look, but it was gone,
C
I can not put my finger on it now,
G
The child is grown, the dream is gone,
A G/B C G D
and I___________________, have become comfortably numb.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official PINK FLOYD tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
