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 From the Album "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy" Transcribed by John Argentiero ([email protected]) 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)
