notes
The version posted is the one sung by the lovely Julie Andrews. To get the version in the same key as sung by the general in the movie "The Sound Of Music" you'll need to transpose it two half steps down.

I LOVE this song. My last name is actually Weiss and this is my favourite flower.
Mimi can you edit your the notes im confused with some of them
I prefer +5
I love this song! This version sounds awesome!
Toss out the A7 and use Am7 on that last grow
Anyone know how to play the intro for this song?
I think the last C is actually a Cm. Thanks!
This actually was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, not Julie Andrews. Great song!
It was recorded by Julie Andrews
I’ve spent summers working in AUSTRIA and if I ever go back to Austria I’ll be playing “Edelweiss” in the Austrian Alps for the sweet cows and goats with my ukele. Thank you for these wonderful chords.
This is so helpful. I love these chords. Thank You
I like the key of -3 the best!
Ok
Thx
Nothing to do with the music but a correction to the notes: it’s Captain Von Trapp (he’s a naval captain not a general).
No it isn’t. If you look at the album it says Eidelwiess single. This means Julie Andrews recorded this song all by herself without Captain von Trapp.
Lisa is saying von Trapp in the story isn’t a general, as the notes currently refer to him as.

I like to play this at the end and then repeat the song.
How do you play things like this? I’m teaching myself to play the ukulele and I have no idea what this means.
Basically, GCEA are the four strings of the ukulele, G being the one closest to you (topmost). The way you play such notation is- The number 0 on the A string means you play it as an open string (not holding down on any frets), next, the number 2 on C would mean you pluck the C string whilst pressing down on 2nd fret for only that string, and so on. If there are numbers on multiple strings it indicates which frets you need to hold down the strings on.
Please fix them im quite confused
I prefer it on -2
I like it best on +5.
