Someone (whose identity I still don't know) sent me a CD about five
months ago. It had a picture of a dog on it. It was called Reality
Check, and it had three songs on it. A yellow post-it note was attached
with five words: "These Guys Will Be HUGE". I played it a couple times,
kinda liked the funkiness of it, then put it aside. Then I noticed that
everyone and their uncle was buying the brand new full-length CD by a
group called Reality Check. It suddenly dawned on me that these bands
were *gasp* one and the same! I have since come to realize that these
guys ROCK. This is their first single, currently in the Top 5 of the
rock charts as I write this (8/1/97), and one of the coolest songs on
the album. Pretty easy to play. Enjoy.

All chords are power chords. I'm not sure that's the way they are on the
album, but it'll sound the same and be easier to play.

INTRO (acoustic):	D  B  C  G  D  B  C

Repeat intro with distortion. 

The only guitar during the rapping verses is some little funk riff that
I have no clue about. This is where I could use some assistance, all you
funk wizards out there. :) 

VERSE 1:

D	    B	         C	   G
  And I wonder if you've ever seen
D		       B
  Life through the eyes of one who
  C	      G	
  Understands what it means to be free
D		B	     C	       G
  Freedom comes when you can let it go
D	   B    	   G
  But I guess you wouldn't know

CHORUS:

G			Bb			
  It's such a shame, the game you play
C
  Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade
G		 Bb		  C		
  I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made

VERSE 2:

More rapping. Funkiness to the max, man. ;)

D        B               C        G
  And I wonder what you're gonna do
D	       B		  C	 
  When your disguise comes crashing down
    G
  And your self comes shining through
D           B           C     G
  Are you gonna hide your face?
D	        B		 G
  Or let it rest in the hands of grace

That's about it. Oh yeah, the chords.

D 	- (x577--)
B	- (x244--)
C	- (x355--)
G	- (355---)
Bb	- (x133--)
