Horizon Has Been Defeated Acoustic Chords & Tabs
Horizon Has Been Defeated Acoustic Tab
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!
