Lana Del Rey is getting the cover treatment from none other than John Mayer. The other day, the musician posted an acoustic instrumental version of her “Video Games” on his SoundCloud page.

You can check it out in full below, embedded at the end of this blog post.

“Video Games (dub solo electric) w/Binson Echorec,” Mayer wrote.

Though he's just as skilled a singer as he is a guitar player, John doesn't put his vocal cords under any stress by singing on the track as well.

As fans must know, he's recently canceled his tour in support of the “Born and Raised” album, citing damaged vocal cords as reason for it.

Mayer is now undergoing treatment for tissue injury, and is expected to make a full recovery.
