Ice Cream
As written and recorded by Sarah McLachlan

I tabbed this out about a month ago, but someone recommended to me trying
it with the capo on the second fret, which makes the song a WHOLE lot
easier, no barre chords, nice open ringing strings and all.  So here it
is again, played with a capo on the 2nd fret.

Well, most of this song is played on piano (um, all of it I think) but
live I believe she does it on guitar, or so I've been told/led to
believe, so here's a good arrangement.
Listen to the record for rhythms.

These are just chord forms.  Not actual chords sounds, see tab at bottom
for more info.

(hum and make cute little happy sounds over intro)

Repeat that last line till the end.  As the song is in G, end on an G
chord, unless by some strange act of God you can fade yourself out like
on the record...

To make life easier, here's TAB for all of the chords...
The important thing here, zeros are in fact twos, since thats where you
have the capo.
