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 - Summerday
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: D Am Em G D
Am
From the ship, we could see it in the distance
Em
As the fog was finally lifting
G D
We had come to the shores of Summerday
Am Em F
Gently landing, we jumped out on the sand and found our way
C G F
Where the dirt was soft and black, we started digging a garden and
C G Bb
Soon we found the woods that we'd call The Forest of Arden for to Play
Eb
When we came to Summerday
Bb Eb
On the shores of Summerday
Bb D
We will live in Summerday
Am
And we climbed a stony mountain
Em
We were boisterous then quiet
G D
As we thought about what instruments to make
Am Em F
Soon we started to build the uilleann pipes and fine guitars
C G F
Then we scouted out the hollows for solitude and silence and
C G
We found the places we could meet, by the blue and glassy river
Bb
Under stars where the paper lanterns sway
Eb
In the streets of Summerday
Bb Eb
Trust the night and trust the day
Bb D
Sun and moon of Summerday
INTERLUDE: Am Em G D
Am
We are pilgrims in the land between religions
Em
We are following our children
G D
And we paint in different colours every day
Am Em F
And if we're true to our hearts they will grow up and want to stay
C G F
We will work beside them as they build modest houses and
C G
On a misty April morning we'll rest the shovels on the fence
Eb
And die and become a summer day
Bb Eb
Oh, the fields of Summerday
Bb Eb
And the flowers of Summerday
Bb D Eb
They will live in Summerday
Bb Eb
To the shores of Summerday
Bb Eb
So we sail to Summerday
Bb D Eb
We will live in Summerday
