Reality Tabs

(ver. 1)
Newsboys
Forward by Hallam Drury

I'm trying to put heaps of Christian tabs on here from some of my favorite
songs, so I've got this off another site to put it here for you. 

                          Hallam:)


There isn't much guitar, if any, in this song. I wrote out the organ intro
and instrumental break for guitar, the rest is just chords.

Intro: (chords are G  C  F, same as chorus)
