How to play the Swanee melody on guitar

The melody of Swanee by George Gershwin runs 248 notes across 58 bars, 2:41 long in Bbm at 196 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? Swanee chords and lyrics.
