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.

C/G Cmaj9 Am
My dad is a miracle and so's my mom
Dm C/G G
They fly over the blue
Am
They finish their dinner and then they take one another's hands
Dm C/G G
And off they go to find a broader point of view
C/G Cmaj9 Am
For it's a give and take beyond the ordinary
Dm C/G G
What with all the cats and kids that they've loved
F Am Dm G
And they, ooh, will not be alone
C/G Cmaj9 Am
Well, my friends give me purple flowers and orange tea
Dm C/G G
On goose-down spilling quilts and turquoise chairs
Am
We greet each other in a wild profusion of words
Dm C/G G
Wave farewell amidst the wonderment of air
C/G Cmaj9 Am
In the laughing times we know that we are lucky
Dm C/G G
And in the quiet times we know that we are blessed
F Am Dm G
And we, ooh, will not be alone
C/G Cmaj9 Am
Well, the light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness to you
Dm C/G G
But as the garbage trucks came bustling through their rounds
Am
You stared at the pictures on your walls and all the postcards from your friends
Dm C/G G
As you heard the birds and old familiar sounds
C/G Cmaj9 Am
That's when you knew this world can't be saved, only discovered
Dm C/G G
And you knew things could be different than before
F Am Dm G C/G Cmaj9 Am Dm G C/G
And now you, ooh, will not be alone anymore______
