Chords for You've Got a Friend in Me Guitar Lesson (EASY CHORDS)

Hey everyone!
Welcome back to another strum chum session.
Today we're going to be learning You've Got a Friend in Me from the Disney movie Toy Story.
In this version, I've arranged the song to remove the bar chords and get rid of the chord extensions
so it should be mostly open, strummable chords.
If you're looking for a version of the song that's
true to the original, I have another lesson on this channel that you can go check out.
Otherwise, let's jump in.
So first of all, the song is in the key of E flat, which doesn't have a lot of open strings.
So in order to make it more strummable, we're going to capo on the third fret.
From here on out, whenever I mention a chord, it'll be in reference to the capo.
So if I say play a C, [Eb] it'll look like a regular C, but it'll sound like an E flat.
Next, let's learn the form [N] of the song.
There's an instrumental, [Ab] verse, instrumental, verse, bridge, verse, and outro.
The strum pattern we'll [C] be using is [Cm] a straightforward [Eb] down, down, up, down, down, up.
Now, I'm going to play through the whole song
slowly and put the chords on the screen so you can follow along.
Here we go.
