Ice Cream Tabs

(ver. 1)
Mclachlan Sarah
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)
A   Bm7    E     

A   Bm7    E
 
A   Bm7    E

A   D  Bm7   Esus2


D    E       F#m7         D         A/C#
Your love is better than Ice Cream

Bm7         E        A/C#           D
Better than anything else that I've tried.

Bm7  E       F#m7         D         A/C#
Your love is better than Ice Cream.

Bm7           E            D        Bm7
Everyone here knows how to fight.

	   F#m  E   Bm7
And it's a long way down

       F#m  E   Bm7

       F#m  E   Bm7         D          A/C# D             A/C#  F#m
It's a long way down to the place where  we started from

A   Bm7    E     

A   Bm7    E
 
D    E       F#m7         D         A/C#
Your love is better than chocolate

Bm7         E        A/C#           D
Better than anything else that I've tried.

Bm7 E       F#m7         D         A/C#
Oh, love is better than chocolate.

Bm7           E            D        Bm7
Everyone here knows how to cry.

	   F#m  E   Bm7
And it's a long way down

       F#m  E   Bm7
It's a long way down

       F#m  E   Bm7         D          A/C# D             A/C#  F#m
It's a long way down to the place where  we started from

   A/C#  D           A/E    F#m
Do do do do do do do     

A            Bm7         E
  Do  do do  do  do do   do

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
