Lest We Forget: The Best Of [3] Tabs:

Personal Jesus Bass Tab

Send "Personal Jesus" Ringtone to your Cell Phone

I would say that I'm 100% sure that this is correct. 50% of it is my own work, while
the other 45% goes to someone I know and about 5% I found on the internet (hope the
person doesn't mind, but I did only used a little bit, most of it was the same as what
I had anyway)
But anyway here it is so enjoy!
Tuning: Drop D
Intro:
-----------------------------------R
-----------------------------------E
---------11----------------11------P till the verse
--4-7-4--11--7-4----4-7-4--11--7-4-E
--4-7-4--9---7-4----4-7-4--9---7-4-A
--4-7-4------7-4----4-7-4------7-4-T
there is another little guitar part that guitar 2 plays right after the intro going
into the verse but i havn't tabbed it(sorry)
Verse:
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
---------11----------------11------| it's actually exactly the same as the
--4-7-4--11--7-4----4-7-4--11--7-4-| intro, but I thought i'd put the verse
--4-7-4--9---7-4----4-7-4--9---7-4-| down seperatly anyway
--4-7-4------7-4----4-7-4------7-4-|
Then theres like a little fill later half way through the verse when he sings: "Someone
who cares"
------------------------------------|
------------------------------------|
--------11--------------------------|
-9-12-9-11-12-9--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6-|
-9-12-9--9-12-9--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6-|
-9-12-9----12-9--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6-|
Then continue playing the verse:
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
---------11----------------11------|
--4-7-4--11--7-4----4-7-4--11--7-4-|
--4-7-4--9---7-4----4-7-4--9---7-4-|
--4-7-4------7-4----4-7-4------7-4-|
end of the verse:
------------------------------------|
------------------------------------|
--------11--------------------------|
-9-12-9-11-12-9--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6-|
-9-12-9--9-12-9--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6-|
-9-12-9----12-9--7--7-7-7--6--6-6-6-|
Bridge:
"Feeling unknown and you're all alone..."
-----------------------------------------|
-7-----7-----10-----15-----12------14----|
-X-----X-----X-------X------X-------X----|
-4-----4-----7------12------9------11----|
-----------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------|
Then after he sings
"I'll make you a believer" theres another little fill that guitar2 plays:
--------|
--------|
--11~~~-| just hold the note for
--------| like 2 seconds.
--------|
--------|
While guitar 1 just goes on playing the main riff (intro/verse):
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
---------11----------------11------|
--4-7-4--11--7-4----4-7-4--11--7-4-|
--4-7-4--9---7-4----4-7-4--9---7-4-|
--4-7-4------7-4----4-7-4------7-4-|
New verse:
"Take second best,put me to the test"
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
---------11----------------11------|
--4-7-4--11--7-4----4-7-4--11--7-4-|
--4-7-4--9---7-4----4-7-4--9---7-4-|
--4-7-4------7-4----4-7-4------7-4-|
First guitar plays main riff:
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
---------11----------------11------|
--4-7-4--11--7-4----4-7-4--11--7-4-|
--4-7-4--9---7-4----4-7-4--9---7-4-|
--4-7-4------7-4----4-7-4------7-4-|
while guitar 2 plays the little fill:
--------|
--------|
--11~~~-|
--------|
--------|
Chorus:
"reach out and touch faith"
--------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------|
-----------------11-------------11----|

-6----5----4-7-4--9--7-4--4-7-4--9--7-|
-6----5----4-7-4-----7-4--4-7-4-----7-|

No Picture a Average	#1 by a a at Aug 26, 1973 at 1:21 PM EST
	in the video, it shows sceens of hitler, stalin, JFK, anf bush. what this means is that as citizens of a country we take what our polititions and dictators say as truth, as if it were the word of god. who are we to contradict what they say. who are they to tell is what to think?

No Picture Alyssa Professional	#2 by Alyssa at Dec 2, 1973 at 8:19 AM EST
	this song fuckin rocks cuz its about call girls.... heh heh heh..... BUT anyways Marilyn Manson really sexy in a creepy kinda way ( for those wondering im a guy and im bi) but M.M. rocks!!!!!!!!!

No Picture Jeremy Average	#3 by Jeremy Rees at Sep 20, 1975 at 2:49 AM EST
	Colindude... seriously... Who said we're ALL goths here? i'm bohemian... come on... Anyway, this is a great song... it was actually on the radio on KROCK about... 2 .34 minutes ago. Uop, now 2.35... What i think this is about Satanism... i know this sounds weird considering it's about J.C... but i was thinking it's kindof about how satan may be the satanist christ. Go ?Shawn? for telling Colin that he should eat his words and try to digest them. Manson's not a bitch... He's just... Himself, i guess. Damn, i gotta study for 3 tests, why am i here? Gaah, someone else post.

No Picture daint Rhythm Player	#4 by daint at Jul 28, 1977 at 8:26 PM EST

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#5 by claireus s at Oct 1, 1982 at 2:16 AM EST
	practice what you preach. if you want to post somthing liek that post it on a rap lyrics page...otehrwise you're doign exactly what you tell others not to. how do you expect peopel to do what you say if you don't set an example first??

No Picture Joey Wanna Be	#6 by Joey at May 24, 1995 at 11:00 PM EST
	First of all, Colin, you have some serious fucking problems, btw Eminem supports Marilyn Manson, and like xscarredbydefaultx said we are not all goths.

No Picture Beaver Average	#7 by Beaver Butt at Apr 16, 1997 at 5:26 PM EST
	BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!

No Picture michiel Wanna Be	#8 by michiel adams at Sep 28, 2007 at 10:08 AM EST
	I like it more than the original. I think it's interesting subject matter for Manson, since he did have an album called Antichrist Superstar.

No Picture More Cowbell Lead Player	#9 by More Cowbell at Oct 1, 2007 at 5:23 PM EST
	Lollipop Lust Kill did a much better cover than Manson

No Picture Dan Average	#10 by Dan Johnson at Oct 9, 2007 at 8:51 PM EST

	It's very similar but not quite as great as the depeche mode version.

No Picture ` niki * Average	#12 by ` niki * at Oct 13, 2007 at 4:55 PM EST
	wholy shyt bi people scare me but oh well ur still kewl oh and i think this song has to do with marilins relationship with "GOD" er wutever is the greater entity (im gonna laugh when we all get to hell and budism ends up bein the corect religion) lol

No Picture Drake Average	#13 by Drake Bergman at Oct 14, 2007 at 6:42 AM EST
	he said in an interview he was tryin to express who he thought wud make the best president..the fact that bush is in the vid helps that theory..i dnt necessarily agree..

No Picture Christian Wanna Be	#14 by Christian Chavez at Oct 16, 2007 at 1:57 AM EST
