How to play the Don’t Explain melody on guitar

The melody of Don’t Explain by Billie Holiday runs 194 notes across 30 bars, 3:24 long in Gm at 80 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.

Prefer to strum and sing it instead? Don’t Explain chords and lyrics.
