Artist: Rayland Baxter
Song: Olivia
Key: G
Signature: 4/4
Tempo: 82
Tuning: Standard

!! PLEASE READ FIRST !!

Rayland plays the song in fingerstyle, and the picking pattern isn't complex, but don't 
have the time to tab it out at the moment.

"Dcombo"
There is a chord pattern he plays which I will refer to as Dcombo rather than taking up 
space below to help you play along to the song using the lyrics as guidance.

"Dcombo" consists of three D chords - D7sus, D7sus4 and D7. The D7sus is played for 2 
beats (strummed on each beat), D7sus4 for two beats (strummed once) to the D7 which is 
played for another 4 beats (strummed twice).

Also, between the last part of each verse into the chorus, Rayland "walks up" to the C 
chord from by playing the fifth (A) string open followed by a B note (2nd fret) before 
playing the C chord.

This is my first attempt to transpose a song from ear, so constructive criticism is welcome.

     G             Gsus   G
Sweet love is such a pretty thing
    Dcombo                G
But lately it’s been hard to find
Gsus     G                Gsus      G
For I can taste it  when the wind blows in
         Dcombo                     G
And I can see it hiding on the mountain side

Chorus:

   C                      D7    G

But I never thought it could be this bad
          C           D7    G
Yeah and I lost all the love I had
