Whots Uh The Deal Tabs

(ver. 1)
Pink Floyd
January 9, 1993

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.)

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: 

       G     G7(no 3rd)    C        Em        Am        D7      D7sus4

                 G                        G7                           
'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul and I think I`m        
                                                                      
         D7  D9

Chorus II
 
        G             G7             C             Em   Am                
Hear me shout come on in  What's the news, where've you been 

               G                  G7                  D7  D9  
'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:
    
 D7 D7sus4 D7 D9 D7
