How to play the When You're Smiling melody on guitar

The melody of When You're Smiling by Louis Armstrong runs 159 notes across 48 bars, 3:08 long in Eb at 120 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? When You're Smiling chords and lyrics.
