I can play this chart fairly well now, but there are some awkward parts for me; perhaps you don't have my set of limitations 
I altered the typical xylophone figure to make it more guitar-istic.  I play it with a down brush with the back of my middle or ring fingernail.  The  first spot that was hard for me is the triplet figure starting in bar 7.  The alternative figure I use later in bar 30, while quicker is actually easier for me.  In both cases it takes some time to get the pull off to sound just right...I get it about 80% of the time now   Just to be a glutton for punishment, I included another 3 over 2 in bar 29...I figured I needed the practice 
You can 'dress up' the xylophone figure through out with hammers,slides and brushes that take in (lightly) the open B string; it would be alternatively the 9 and 5 of the given chords.  I also use some muted, percussive brushes with the back of the nail where it feels right.
As an aside, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller also wrote "Hound Dog".  They probably made a couple of dollars off just these two...
  
Lyrics:
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden    c           x   %).38      Guitar Standard G 
