Comfortably Numb Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Comfortably Numb chord chart by Pink Floyd. I teach this song to my students once that start feeling more comfortable with strumming and are ready to move on to some barre chord work since this song has a Bm chord in it. The song is mostly open chord but Bm does appear a lot in the verses which can make it a little trickier to play. No worries, you can use the easy Bm chord below to play a long with.

Come on, now. I hear you’re feeling down.

Well, I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again.

Relax. I need some information first.

Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts?
Chorus:
D A
There is no pain, you are receding.

A distant ship smoke on the horizon.

Out of the corner of my eye.
