Beyond the Horizon Bob Dylan
There are lots of different tones here, and many places to play them. Here are two different versions: one in E major (capo 1st fret), which gives a fuller sound and the option to play around with the E-E6-E7-plus-plus things up at the 7th fret and still use the open strings as a soundboard; another in D (capo 3rd fret), which is much easier to play, and doesn’t sound half bad at all.
Don’t let all the long names scare you off: all the 6-es are there for the gently rocking groundwork, and the maj7-s and 9-s for the N’Orleans-ish fillings. Any of them can be dropped: play E . . . | D7 . . . | etc instead if you wish.
Version with capo 1st fret (sounding key F major)

At the end of the rainbow, life has only begun
In the long hours of twilight
'neath the stardust above
Beyond the horizon, it is easy to love
[A6]I'm [F#m7-5]touched with [E]desire
[B7]What don't I [E]do?
[A6]Through [F#m7-5]flame and through [E]fire
I'll build my world around you
Beyond the horizon,
in the springtime or fall
Love waits forever for one and for all
Beyond the horizon, across the divide
'Round about midnight, we'll be on the same side
Down in the valley, the water runs cold
Beyond the horizon, someone prayed for your soul
My wretched heart is pounding
I felt an angel's kiss
My memories are drowning
In mortal bliss
Beyond the horizon, at the end of the game
Every step that you take, I'm walking the same

Beyond the horizon, the night winds blow
The theme of a melody from many moons ago
The bells of St. Mary, how sweetly they chime
Beyond the horizon, I found you just in time
It's dark and it's dreary
I been pleading in vain
I'm wounded and I'm weary
My repentance is plain
Beyond the horizon, o'er the treacherous sea
I still can't believe that you have set aside your love for me
Beyond the horizon, 'neath crimson skies
In the soft light of morning, I'll follow you with my eyes
Through countries and kingdoms and temples of stone
Beyond the horizon, right down to the bone
It's the right time of the season
Someone there always cared
There's always a reason
Why someone's life has been spared
Beyond the horizon, the sky is so blue
I've got more than a lifetime to live lovin' you
