The iconic theme from Toy Story, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” has become one of the most recognizable songs in film history. The jazzy, ragtime-influenced chords give it a warm, playful character.

Tip: Give this a shuffle/swing feel by slightly delaying upstrokes. The A7 and D7 chords add jazzy color. Practice the A7 shape (x02020) and D7 (xx0212). A walking bass approach between chords sounds great.
