Finally pulled myself together and tabbed this, yay! This is the version
Pink Floyd played live on tour, as can be heard on the album Pulse.
 
A few things you should notice about this solo:
-Strings that aren't played on should be muted more or less actively.
 Normally it's not all that important, but I've marked the places
 where active muting is required for the song to sound right with *.
 
-When playing the highest notes in this solo, the frets don't actually
 exist, they are the imaginary frets to hit the right tone. I included
 the actual tones as well. Some people mark the positions of the
 imaginary frets on their guitar to make things easier. Most play them
 by ear though.
 
-Use lotsa chorus and some delay on your amp to get the right sound.

Indeed it is, but very few of us can afford a lap steel guitar. :) This tab is intended to enable people to play it with a normal guitar. If available though, a lap steel will sound a great deal better.
