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 - Crystal Creek
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C
F
You, so fleet and youthful, must have split a thousand apples
Am F
Oh, I watched you as you steadied first your heart then your breath
C F
Venturing out, you scanned a thousand blades of grass
Am F Dm
And when you drew your bowstring, it was a swift and cordial death
F
As you stood in the wilderness
Dm F
Did you feel the silence in the stillness?
C Em G
That was me, with you in the forest
C Em
For you knew the balances, the balances before us
F C Am G
I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek
C F
Oh, a tree, it's a record, a home of memories
Am F
And every bird springs from an old master's canvas, full in flight
C F
And the pond I go to, sparkles in a vast estuary
Am F Dm
And those men saw nothing, staring drunken through their sites
F
The one who spied me out as goods to plunder
Dm F
I had to show the world that he was not a true hunter
C Em
That was me, when he saw me naked
G C Em
He was interrupting something sacred
F C Am G
I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek
C F
And the newsmen circled, leaving trails of cigarette butts
Am F
Machine-like up the hill to Crystal Creek
C F
“James,” she said, “who would do this thing I've seen today.
Am F Dm
I cannot hold my mic, my hands are shaking, knees are weak.”
F
“They found a man and he was wrapped in a deerskin,
Dm F
Riddled through with boxes of his friends' ammunition.
Dm G
Turn the camera off,” she said.
C Em
That was me, oh, my noble animals
C Em
You must act with reverence, with reverence, not like cannibals
F C Am G C
I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek
