Ice Cream
As written and recorded by Sarah McLachlan
From the Album "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy"
Transcribed by John Argentiero (jfafreak@wam.umd.edu)
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.
(hum and make cute little happy sounds over intro)
G   Am7    D
G   Am7    D
G   Bm7    D
G   C  Am7   Dsus2
C    D       Em7         C        G/B
Your love is better than Ice Cream
Am7         D        G/B            C
Better than anything else that I've tried.
Am7  D       Em7         C         G/B
Your love is better than Ice Cream.
Am7           D            C        Am7
Everyone here knows how to fight.
           Em   D   Am7
And it's a long way down
       Em   D   Am7
It's a long way down
       Em   D   Am7         C          G/B  C             G/B    Em
It's a long way down to the place where  we started from
G   Am7    D
G   Am7    D
C    D       Em7         C         G/B
Your love is better than chocolate
Am7         D        G/B            C
Better than anything else that I've tried.
Am7 D       Em7         C         G/B
Oh, love is better than chocolate.
Am7           D            C        Am7
Everyone here knows how to cry.
           Em   D   Am7
And it's a long way down
       Em   D   Am7
It's a long way down
       Em   D   Am7         C          G/B  C             G/B   Em
It's a long way down to the place where  we started from
   G/B   C           G      Em
Do do do do do do do
G            Am7         D
  Do  do do  do  do do   do
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 that's where you
have the capo.
