(Listen to the song to hear how Sarah strums, and remember
the song is in 3/4, or 6/8, time with a waltz-like feel.)

Ice Cream
As written and recorded by Sarah McLachlan
From the Album "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy"
Transcribed by John Argentiero (jfafreak@wam.umd.edu)
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...
