Biography:
American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade.
Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
Her 2008 album, entitled Promised Land.

Dar Williams - Another Mystery
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: F Dm F Dm
F Dm
Get off your cat walk, I want you to talk
F Dm
To be the seer, instead of the seen
F Dm
There is a flower, a leaning tower
Bb C
And all of the wonders standing between
CHORUS:
F Dm Bb C
I don't a-wanna be another mystery, oh no
F Dm Bb C
I don't a-wanna see who's a-looking at me, oh no
F Dm Bb C
I wanna be the one to feel the sun, oh, oh
F Dm Bb C
So if you wanna see the world with me, let's go
INTERLUDE: F Dm F Dm
F Dm
The alligator, the god that made her
F Dm
And all the creatures that got left behind
F Dm
In Mycenae, Ave Maria
Bb C
And everything you gotta dig harder to find
Bb C
I don't want to be a vapour of heavenly light
Bb C
Everybody guess if I'm an angel or sprite
CHORUS:
F Dm Bb C
I don't a-wanna be another mystery, oh no
F Dm Bb C
I don't a-wanna see who's a-looking at me, oh no
F Dm Bb C
I wanna be the one to feel the sun, oh, oh
F Dm Bb C
So if you wanna see the world with me, let's go
(## key change - up 2 semitones ##)
INTERLUDE: G Em G Em
G Em
You could pursue it, hell I could do it
G Em
I'll just be quiet when I get angry and hurt
G Em
I'm stopping traffic, cinema-graphic
C D
With my long black coat hanging down in the dirt
C D
And my hair clinging to my face in the rain
C D
Like a goddess from the Cult Of Beautiful Pain
G Em C D
I don't want to be another mystery
G Em C D
I don't want to be another mystery
C D
I could cut you off with a shoulder of stone
C D
Smoke all night and leave the party alone
C D
Screw myself with an inscrutable pout
Am
But I just want you to come figure me out
(## key change - down 2 semitones ##)
CHORUS:
F Dm Bb C
I don't a-wanna be another mystery, oh no
F Dm Bb C
I don't a-wanna see who's a-looking at me, oh no
F Dm Bb C
I wanna be the one to feel the sun, oh, oh
F Dm Bb C
So if you wanna see the world with me, let's go
F Dm Bb C Bb Ab Gm F
I don't a-wanna be another mystery
