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 - Party Generation
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C Am D (4x) G
C Am D G
When he turned 34, but who's counting
C Am D
He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party
G F C D
So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys
G C Am D G
And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks
C Am D
There was a house between Mavis and Water
G C Am D G
They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters
Am D
And he said, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,
Am D
You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's name
Am G C D
And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink."
Am G C D
They said, "Man, you really make us think, yeah, you make us think
G
And so..."
CHORUS:
C Am D G
Tonight we're gonna be the party
C Am D G
We will party all night long__
F C
We are the party generation
Am D
So have a seat, what's in the bag?
G
Party on
C Am D G
'Round about 1:00 or 2:00 it started winding down
C Am D
And he knew what they needed, they needed doughnuts
G F C D
So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
G C Am D G
It was there at the doorway he said, "Oh, well maybe not."
C Am D
Inside there were six women talking
G C Am D
They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends
Am D
And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad
Am D
Through the eyes in the back of their heads, like he always knew they had
Am G C D
And they said, "What a coincidence" and "Hey you're just the man,
Am G C D
We were saying that you did the best you could, you're fine, we understand
G
And so..."
CHORUS:
C Am D G
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
C Am D G
We will party all night long__
F C
We are the party generation
Am D
You were the best, but we'll survive
G
Party On

INSTRUMENTAL: F C E F C D
G C Am D
In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver
G C Am D
And he lay down and thought about the whole night
G F C D
And he looked up at the photo that he got at a junk shop
G C Am D G
It was only fifty cents, but he framed it and everything
C Am D G
It was the kind of party that you hope never ends
C Am D
The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends
Am D
And they were all in pointed hats, caught in a rebel birthday shout
Am D Am
And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out
G C D Am
There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them
G C D
Like if you listened, you could hear them, and he could hear them
G
They say...
CHORUS:
C Am D G
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
C Am D G
We will party all night long__
