Here's one of my favorites from early Floyd. Enjoy!!

Wots...uh the Deal from the albumn Obscured by Clouds by Pink Floyd

The intro and verses of this song consist mainly of eighth notes played on the first four strings over a descending baseline going from (G, F#, F, E, D#, D.)

Intro and verses

Verses: Heaven sent the promised land Looks alright from where I stand 'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in

Waitin' on the first step Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line because it's time To let me in

Chorus I

Flash the red is - wots...uh the deal? Got to make it to the next meal Try to keep up with the turnin' of the wheel

Mile after mile stone after stone You turn to speak but you're alone Million mile from home you're on your own So let me in

Chorus I

Fly bright by candle light with her by my side And if she prefers we never stir again Someone sent the promised land and I grabbed it with both hands Now I'm the man on the inside looking out

Chorus II

I don't know exactly how the chorus is played, but I do know the basic chords used. Here they are:

Chorus I

...So let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold

'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul and I think I`m

growing old

Chorus II

Hear me shout come on in What's the news, where've you been

'Cause there's no wind left in my soul and I've grown old

Sometimes, the last chords in the chorus go something like this:
