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 Mercy Of The Fallen
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G
D
Oh, my fair North Star
Em C
I have held to you dearly
G C
I had asked you to steer me
G D
'Til one cloud-scattered night
G D
I got lost in my travels
Em C
I met Leo the Lion
G C
Met a king and met a giant
G D
With their errant knight
CHORUS:
Em Bm
There's the wind and the rain
C
And the mercy of the fallen
G D Em C
Who say they have no claim to know what's right
G D
There's the weak and the strong
Em C
And the beds that have no answer
G D Em C
And that's where I may rest my head tonight
N.C. G D
I saw all the bright people
Em C
In imposing flocks they landed
G C
And they got what they demanded
G D
And they scratched at the ground
G D
Then they flew, and the field
Em C
Grew as sweetly for the flightless
G C
Who had longing yet despite this
G D
They could hear every sound
CHORUS:
Em Bm
There's the wind and the rain
C
And the mercy of the fallen
G D Em C
Who say they have no claim to know what's right
INSTRUMENTAL: G D Em C (2x)
G D
And if your sister or your brother
Em C
Were stumbling on their last mile
G C
In a self-inflicted exile
G D
You'd wish for them a humble friend
G D
And I hope someday
Em C
That the best of Falstaff's planners
G C
Give me seven half-built manors
G D Em D
Where her half-dreams may dream without end
CHORUS:
Em Bm
There's the wind and the rain
C
And the mercy of the fallen
G D Em C
Who say, "Hey, it's not my place to know what's right"
G D
There's the weak and the strong
Em C
And the many stars that guide us
G D C G D G
We have some of them inside us
