Personal Jesus (ver 4) by Johnny Cash
Ok, so this is my way of playing the song, but this tab is based off some other tabs.
is for the main guitar.
*The second part of Riff 2 might not be that, but that is a start for anyone who wants
adapt it.
*I am certain about almost everything except that the C-Chord might be a B-Chord, but i
the C since it is an open chord.
*the "Reach Out and Touch Faith" part is Riff 1 then Riff 3 so that "Reach" is sung at
end of the F# strumming and "Faith" is sung with no music played.
*There is a second guitar (I think it is played with a slide) in the right channel that
chords. I really don't know what it is playing, but the way I would play it for a two
arrangement is just have it strum Riff 1 so it's hitting multiple strings, have it play
2 in harmony with Guitar 1, and depending on if you want, play with or without Guitar 1
Riff 3 or Guitar 2 only plays Riff 3, giving Guitar 1 a break.
If you listen to the song, then this will all make sense!
