Song:Edelweiss (Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers)
from the movie: The Sound Of Music.
Chord Analysis: Mats Fagergren.

The song Edelweiss occur two times in the movie/film.
The 1st time it is played in E flat (Eb).
The second time when it is appering in the film, the whole family sing 
together and the 2nd verse is shortened.
This time the song is then in the key of F

I present here both versions including intro.
For the first version tune down the strings to Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb. 
second time tune back to E,A,d,G,B,e and put a capo on 1st fret.
