Only Love Can Break Your Heart

This is Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break your Heart' from his 'After the Gold Rush' LP. I've always loved the tune and thought I would give it a go on the solo 5 string. Neil Young has quite the knack for crafting rock solid melodies so for my arranging on this I've tried my best to respect the melody and stay out of its way. The verse and chorus share the same basic melody but the variation of the underlying harmony makes them seem quite different from one another. Here is a little video performance of it... And here is the tablature...
