ELUSIVE - Scott Matthews

Tabbed by: Stouffer The Cat

Tuning: eBGDAD
I've seen a couple of tabs to this incredible song, but the choruses and outros were way off!
I've got most of it figured out, but can't work out the picking for the middle 8, after
second chorus. If anyone can work it out (or if I've got the whole song horribly
please let me know.
Toodles. Happy playing.
