Search For The Hero - M People Cover - HIVE Open Mic 80

Hey Folks

This is my song for this week.

Recently I've been trying to learn some new songs to play while I'm out busking.

I've been thinking the more recognisable a song is the more likely it is to earn some cash playing it out in public.

With that in mind I've been learning some popular songs like the one I'm going to play today which is "Search For The Hero" a classic tune from the nineties by M-People.


"Search for the Hero"
M People

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves, it's a shame
Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door
Of being rich or being poor, such a shame

But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make your feelings alive
And that's why, you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

In this life, long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream, aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find
Mmm-mmm-mmm

Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your passport to a feeling supreme

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

You've got to search, inside yourself
Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves, it's a shame
You've got to search

Beautiful..
What chord did you play at the

"Such a shame" part..

I couldn't get the fingering

Good song.

Hey @jaydr

Thanks for the kind words. :)

That chord is an F major 7 but I'm adding a note on the A string on the 3rd fret from the capo.

The "Such a shame" part starts on that chord and goes up to the G.

Oh nice. Cool..
Should try it in a song soon ..
Thanks for the teaching..
You dont just play the guitar
You know it.

Very beautiful singing! I had never heard this song but I find it very beautiful

Thanks for the kind words :)

Gracias amigo por compartir este tema tan dulce. Me gustó mucho. Saludos.
