Guitar
Tab/Chords
There are a
number of places on the Web where avid, or beginner, guitar
players can find chords or tab for Dar's songs. Most of them
also have links and/or music for other musicians as well.
- Play With Dar, the
DarWilliams.net guitar tab/chord archive (It's been updated
with songs from Promised Land - more to come).
- Ron Greitzer's chord page has many Dar tunes. He also has Cry Cry Cry's chords and lyrics as well as a bunch of other artists. He's got great instructions at the start of many of the songs, too!
- Ed's Folk Guitar Page has music for those interested in some of Dar's (and other musician's) more complicated music.
- There's also a Dar Songbook available from Hal Leonard publishing. It has music, chords, tab and lyrics for 12 songs.
Lyrics
There are a number of places on the Internet where you can get just the lyrics (not tab/chord notation to get in the way) to Dar's songs. Here are a few of them. If you do a search for "dar williams lyrics" there's a lot more but many of them are sites with ads and all manner of junk.
- Dar Williams Lyrics Index -- This page also includes lyrics from some of the songs on the first two tapes All My Heroes Are Dead and I Have No History.
- Lyricsdownload.com -- included because the songs are listed in alphabetical order
- This isn't a Dar song, but she sang it on the Out There Live tour and people wanted the lyrics, so here are the lyrics for Finlandia.

We are the daughters and sons of God, and that means we are called to be peacemakers, whether we like it or not. It's a responsibility of all of us to pursue peace for its own sake, for the sake of the future for our children."
