How to play the Birthday melody on guitar

The melody of Birthday by The Beatles runs 129 notes across 38 bars, 2:05 long in A at 138 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? Birthday chords and lyrics.
