Is This Riff Already Taken?

Just messing around on my acoustic, and came up with this little riff. Figured it would be easy to add a vocal melody to, and maybe add some keys.

It sounds very vaguely familiar though, is this already part of a song?

I don't know if it's specifically taken, it just sounds typical. As in I mean some songs probably ahvei t but nobody is going to jump your case if you use it. It still sounds fine.

yup, sounds nice, but very typical. I'd change the time signature or something like that and make it a little more "yours."

Yes, I was thinking about spicing it up with a different time signature, or possibly playing it fingerstyle, and adding some "flavour" to it.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
