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 (and slightly redesigned) with songs from My Better Self - more
to come).
- Ron
Greitzer's page songs from The Green World and other 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.
- The
On Line Guitar Archive (OLGA) has a bunch of Dar songs. It's
officially
closed but many of the links still work.
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.

No
Right
from The Green World. The song is about peace activists Berrigan
brothers
and has been added to this site as a tribute to Philip Berrigan who
passed
away in early December 2002.
- From the prayer card
at Philip Berrigan's funeral:
- "Peacekeeping
is not only a central characteristic of the gospel. Peacemaking
is the greatest need of the world today. 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."
