Band: Days of the New
Song: Dirty Road
Album: Red Album
Guitarist: Travis Meeks
Transcribed by: Flake

All guitars are in Open F#m tuning
low to high: C# F# C# F# A C#

Guitars 1-4 are acoustic; Guitar 5 is a dirty electric

Some guitar parts are heard faintly so I'll do my best to put this together.
