This version concurs with this UG ‘Personal Jesus’ lead TAB https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/depeche_mode/personal_jesus_ver2_guitar_pro.htm 2. Although TAB’ed as just E, the long E Chord passages throughout, can take the form of E - E11 - E. Where E11 is 000100, as it highlights the lead accompaniment. 3. “…In mid-1989, the band began recording in Milan with record producer Flood. The result of this session was the single "Personal Jesus", which featured a catchy bluesy riff and drum-based sound, radically different from anything the band had released thus far. The song became a big hit across the world, and is one of Depeche Mode's most successful songs, along with the following single, "Enjoy the Silence". Although not the first Depeche Mode song to feature guitar parts ["Behind the Wheel" and their cover of "Route 66" featured a guitar; "Love, in Itself" from Construction Time Again featured an acoustic guitar], it was the first time a guitar was used as a dominant instrument in a Depeche Mode song….” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Jesus.
