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 - Spring Street
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G
Bm
I'm sorry that I left you with your questions all alone
C D Bm C
But I was too happy driving and too angry to drive home
G Bm
I was thinking about the easy courage of my distant friends
C D Bm C
They said I could let this bridge wash out and never make amends
D Bm
Can I blow this small town, make a big sound
C
Like the star of a film noir postcard
Am Em
Can I just forget the frames I shared with you
CHORUS:
G
And I can't believe what they're saying
D
They're saying I can change my mind
Am
Start over on Spring Street
D Bm C
I'm welcome anytime_______
G Bm
Well, there are Spring Street storefront daisies, floating on their neon stems
C D Bm C
There are new shirts on the clothes racks, should I feel like one of them
G Bm
Well, I can find a small apartment, where a struggling artist died
C D Bm C
And pretend, because I pay the rent, I know that pain inside
D Bm
Yeah, let's watch the tour bus stop and tell us
C
Here's the scene of a spring green life dream
Am Em
Take the best part, write it in your caffeine diary
CHORUS:
G
And I can't believe what they're saying
D
They're saying I can leave tonight
Am
Start over on Spring Street
D Bm C
I'm welcome anytime_______
INTERLUDE: G
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bm C D Bm C
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G Bm
This year April had a blizzard, just to show she did not care
C D Bm C
And the new dead leaves, they made the trees look like children with grey hair
G Bm
But I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
C D Bm C
I'm resolved to being born and so resigned to bravery
D Bm
Yeah, the one who leaves this, also grieves this
C
Too much rain on a prairie flood plain
Am Em
Houses floating, love is like that, we built on the river
CHORUS:
G
And that's to say, yeah, I'm leaving
D
But I don't have to go there
Am
I don't have to go to Spring Street
D Bm Em
'Cause it's spring everywhere________
