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 - The Easy Way
INTRO: C F C F
C F
I knew a guy, I thought he was my first love
C F
But he had to decide between me and the one before
C F
And she stacked it all up, like a house of cards
C F
Said, if he didn't come back, he'd find her flattened on the floor
Dm
And though I went and lived in my own Hell
F
Thought that I could die as well
Dm F
I let him go where he thought he had to go
CHORUS:
C F
'Cause I never took
Heavy words for granted
C F
And I never took
The undeserved advantage
Am F
No, I never took the easy way
Dm F
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now
C F
Out on the road, I had so many questions
C F
That I thought I could explode just for some attention
C F
Like an acolyte, I saw the flames of towering tapers
C F
Almost proselytised by those gleaming piles of papers
Dm
Yeah, I watched the power huddles
F
And their coats draped over puddles
Dm F
And their, “Trust me, baby, I'm the one you need.”
CHORUS:
C F
But I never took
Heavy words for granted
C F
And I never took
The undeserved advantage
Am F
No, I never took the easy way
Dm F
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now
BRIDGE:
Am F C
We don't want to be the ones who lie and cheat and slander
Am F C
So we hold each other up to the higher standard
Am F C
But I'll tell you what, I never try to make it hard
Dm
'Cause when you're hard just to be hard
F
The only thing that's hard is you
C F
So here's what I took, I kept the wine and laughter
C F
Until every path just grew up and ever after
Dm F
Through the peaks and twisty canyons, I made many great companions
Dm F
Best of all, is the one who loves me like you do
CHORUS:
C F
But I never took
Heavy words for granted
C F
And I never took
The undeserved advantage
Am F
No, I never took the easy way
Dm F
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now
CHORUS:
C F
'Cause I never took
Heavy words for granted
C
And it's much too late
F
To even want the shortcut
Am F
Yeah, I never took the easy way
Dm F
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now
Dm F C
Because we know that easy's never easy anyhow
