Hello, hivers. I hope y'all are having a great day a
Something like Olivia by John Mayer has been really popular among the guitar community for a while now, especially since John Mayer performed his acoustic version of the song which was nothing short of clean and phenomenal. The riffs he plays and the way he strums the chords has given many intermediate guitarists a worthy assignment to decipher.
Here's the link to John Mayer's acoustic cover of the song.
Here is my humble acoustic take on this iconic, groovy song. I also really love the lyrics of the song, particularly the wordings of the third verse. He states in the third verse that while is not actively trying to steal someone else's love, he would probably let her in if she came to him of her own accord.
Here are the lyrics of the song.
Well, Olivia is taken
But a look like hers can be found from time to time
Yeah, Olivia is taken
But a look like hers can be found from time to time
I'm thinking something like Olivia is
What I need to find
There's only one man in this world who gets to
Sleep with her by his side
There's only one man in this world who gets to
Sleep with her by his side
I'm thinking something like Olivia could
Keep me through the night
Now I'm not trying to steal
No love away from no one man
No, I'm not trying to steal
No love away from no one man
But if Olivia herself were at my door
I'd have to say, I'd let her in
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
I keep thinking something like Olivia is
What I need to find
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
I keep thinking something like Olivia
