All I have so far is the intro. It's not exactly the way Floyd play it, but it sounds pretty close. If anyone can help out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Transcribed, adapted & tabed by Syl Voice This is an adaptation, if you want a transcription, you can find the intro above.
Do it yourself now or take a look at bottom notes. Lyrics included (two times, just because I luv U!)
Note: This is the very first tab i ever write, so Xcuse me 4 talking too much, I'm so happy!
Verse
wasting my time... resting my mind... and I'll never pine for the sad days and the bad days when we was working from 9 to 5.
Verse
and if you don't mind... I'll spend my time... here by the fireside in the warm light of the love in her eyes!
Bridge
and if you don't mind... I'll spend my time... here by the fireside in the warm light of the love in her eyes!
Hi guys, Syl (Frenchydon'thitme!) Voice talking; What a pleasure it is to be able to play this song on an acoustic guitar, I'v waited a few years to adapt it, 'cause of course that's an adaptation: I'm not the Off-The-Record man. I've transcribed the way I'm playing it, but unless you really start the instrument (& then what are you doin'g here? Get back to Let it be!) I don't think that it's a good idea to play the tune in exactly the same way. My advice: Take a look at verse 1, it's all over the same part except for the 2 last bars. So you can only learn verse 1 & links to play the thing like that:
link 1 : E7 with a few D#7 Verse 1 : verse 1 (No?! Yes it is Sir!) =) link 2 : E7 with a few D#7 (u see link 1? exactly the same thing...) Verse 2 : Verse 1 (Again? Roger must have wrote it) link 3 : E7#9 & B7#9 (U know, the blues ones!) Bridge : Verse one but with a bit more notes link 4 : E7 with a few D#7, exactly as Link 1 Verse 3 : Good old verse 1 is striking back, but this time with verse 2's lyrics. Hi Roger, not too busy? Coda : E7, B7#9... D#7, E7, F7, E7... (TaDa!)
something not on the tab: Slide from D#7 to E7 on links. Link 3, bridge & Coda are my own ideas, as they replace solo parts, being not able to play them alone ('cuz i'm alone, how cruel is life! but she will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine!), i didn't even tried to catch chords on 'em, but it sounds to me as an old 12-bar blues in E.
Another good idea: All of the lyrics on just 8 lines:
v1: wasting my time... resting my mind... the typical Rog. line and I'll never pine | for the sad days and the bad days when we was working from 9 to 5.
