How to play the Spanish Harlem melody on guitar

The melody of Spanish Harlem by Aretha Franklin runs 290 notes across 45 bars, 3:25 long in A at 116 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? Spanish Harlem chords and lyrics.
