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.

G
I wont forget when Peter Pan
G/B
Came to my house, took my hand
C
I said, "I was a boy"
G/B D
Im glad he didnt check
G
I learned to fly, I learned to fight
G/B
I lived a whole life in one night
C
We saved each others lives
G/B D
Out on the pirates deck
C
And I remember that night
G G/B C
When Im leaving a late night with some friends
G/B C
And I hear somebody tell me
G/B D
Its not safe, someone should help me
C D G
I need to find a nice man to walk me home
G/B
When I was a boy
I scared the pants off of my mom
C D
Climbed what I could climb upon
C G/B
And I dont know how I survived
G/B C
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew
G/B D
And you can walk me home
C D G/B
But I was a boy, too
I was a kid that you would like
Just a small boy on her bike
Riding topless, yeah
I never cared who saw
My neighbor come outside
To say, "Get your shirt,"
I said "No way, it's the last time
I'm not breaking any law"
C G/B
And now I'm in this clothing store
G/B C
And the signs say less is more
G/B D
More that's tight means more to see
C G/B D
More for them, not more for me
C D G/B
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat
When I was a boy, see that picture? That was me
Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
And I know things have gotta change
G/B C G
They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in
G/B D C
They've got implants to remove
G/B D
But I am not forgetting
C D G/B
That I was a boy too
And like the woods where I would creep
It's a secret I can keep
Except when I'm tired
'Cept when I'm being caught off guard
And I've had a lonesome awful day
The conversation finds its way
To catching fire-flies
Out in the backyard
C G/B
And I so tell the man I'm with
G/B C
About the other life I lived
G/B D
And I say now you're top gun
C G/B D
I have lost and you have won
C D G/B
And he says, "Oh no, no, can't you see
When I was a girl, my mom
And I we always talked
And I picked flowers
Everywhere that I walked
D
And I could always cry
G/B C
Now even when I'm alone I seldom do
C D G/B
And I have lost some kindness
C D G/B
But I was a girl too
C D G/B
And you were just like me
C D G
And I was just like you
I wont forget when Peter Pan
