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.

Standard tuning
capo II
Em G C x 2
Em G C
Oh what have we here, he must be three or four,
Em G C
Shaken out of a boot on its way back to war
G Bm Em
And he’s not looking for a father or a mother,
C G
Just a seven year old brother,
Am D
On this smudged line border camp of refugees,
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
So where are we now, he must be five or six,
Em G C
Just running around, hungry kids, sharpened sticks.
G Bm Em
And he will grow with pain and fear and jealousy,
C G
Taken in by schools of zealotry,
Am D
Who train orphans to make orphans evermore.
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Bridge:
Em G
You drink the smoke, you ride the noise
C
You drink the smoke, you ride the noise,
Em G
And you say it’s necessary,
C
And you forget the ordinary
Em G C
But I say, on the wheel of time,
Scour the Earth and find the
Em G C
Orphans of forgetting, all the orphans of forgetting,
Em G
Give them stars for math and praise for good play,
C Am
Here’s a Band-Aid, happy birthday,
D
Yes of course I did remember,
Em
I remember everything
Em G C
Oh come over here, kid we’ve got all these books to read,
Em G C
With the turtles and frogs, cats and dogs who civilize the centuries,
G Bm Em
And in a world that’s angry, cruel and furious,
C G
There’s this monkey who’s just curious,
Am D
Floating high above a park with bright balloons.
I am the one who will remember everything.
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em G C
I am the one who will remember everything
Em
Everything…
