Ice Cream Tabs

(ver. 2)
Mclachlan Sarah
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)

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

       Em   D   Am7         C          G/B  C             G/B    Em

Oh, love is better than chocolate.

Am7           D            C        Am7

	   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 thats where you 
have the capo.


e--3---0-----2---0----0------0-----------0-------|
B--3---1-----3---1----3------0-----3-----0-------|
G--0---0-----2---0----2------0-----0-----0-------|
D--0---2-----0---2----0------0-----0-----2-------|
A--2---0---------3-----------2-----2-----2-------|
E--3-------------------------0-----------0-------|
   G   Am7   D   C    Dsus2  Em7  G/B    Em   

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