Edelweiss – Rodgers and Hammerstein

The last song that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote together, created for the film “The Sound of Music”. Slow, melodic, mournful and beautiful 🙂

E – G -^C      B – G – F
Edelweiss, Edelweiss

E – E      E – F        G      A         G
Every morning you greet me

E          G      ^C          B         G     F
Small and white, clean and bright

You look happy to meet me

^D – G      G    B        A       G       E           G     ^C
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow

Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
