How to play You’ve Got a Friend In Me on ukulele

On ukulele, You’ve Got a Friend In Me comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 112 bpm, a medium pace, and it swings lightly. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Swing the strum with a bouncy island feel to match the jazzy shuffle.
