the song is in 3/4, or 6/8, time with a waltz-like feel.)

Feel free to send any questions or comments my way. Let me
know if you liked, if I spelled out too much, too little,
if the notation needs clarifying,...
Enjoy this tasty tune!! Mmmmm...ice cream...

Ice Cream
As written and recorded by Sarah McLachlan

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.

(hum and make cute little happy sounds over intro)

Repeat that last line till the end. As the song is in A, end on an A
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...

Hope this is through enough to allow you to happily play in any given
acoustic coffe house or hang-out joint of your choice! If there are any
problems, email me!
