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 Tide Falls Away
INTRO: Am Am7 Am F
Am Am7 F
I walked a spiralling village one night
Em G F
Drawn by the word of a bell or a light
G E7 Am Am7
Out on the flats, saw it rose to a spire
Am F C Am
All becomes clear as the tide falls away
Am Am7 F
Parent and child and an ocean between
Em G F
One is not heard and the other not seen
G E7 Am Am7
Too many bottles, but each had a message inside
Am F C Am Am7
All becomes clear as the tide falls away
Am F C Am
All becomes clear as the tide falls away
INTERLUDE: Am Am7 F Em G F
G E7
Lucky we are when the stars leave us singing
Am F C
A hymn or a dirge when the surge of the ocean is gone
F
Is gone
INTERLUDE: Am Am7 Am F
Am Am7 F
And the old woman just stares at her hands
Em G F
So many heroes have crumbled to sand
G E7 Am Am7
All those cathedrals were merely by men
Am F C Am
All becomes clear as the tide falls away
F C Am Am7
All becomes clear as the tide falls away
F
All falls away
