Song: The Horizon has been Defeated (acoustic version)
Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: On and On
This is a fairly easy song, I think it’s really good for beginners who want to learn
simple plucking patterns. All the G chords in the song are natural majors but for some
Jack plays one Gmajor6 as the second chord in the song. Hope you like it!

Verse:
The verse has 4 sections, the first 3 are just the second part of the intro repeated and
4th section has an extra A and G chord between the C and D. Or to put it differently:
|----2-----2-----0---3-----3-----0---0-----0-----0---2-----2-----2----| x3
|------3-----3---------0-----0---------1-----1---------3-----3--------|
|--------2-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---------2------------|

Bridge
This part is played similar to the verse except jack plays the A section 4 times like this
--------------------| x4
--2-----2-----2----|
----2-----2--------|
------2-----2------|

And then goes straight into the outro
