slow ya roll

-By Tiffiny Coffey, 2019

A Em F#m D
Fast and then slow
Or is it stop -- or go
The moment is gone
Or it’s here
 
Gas or the brake
How much more can I take
Make up your mind
Let’s be clear
 
It’s time to
Slow your roll
You’ve got to
Slow your Roll
 
T  Light and the dark
C          Every move leaves its mark
T  Yell and then hush
C          Why does it hurt so much
T  Dark and then light
C          Can we keep up the fight
T  Down and then up
C          Yeah it’s almost too much
 
 It’s time to
Slow your roll
You’ve got to
Slow your Roll
 
INST SOLO
 
Bridge
E    Take a minute
D    Stop a second
A – Look what’s goin down
E    Head is spinnin…..
D
A
 
E Breathe on in it
D Everything is gonna be alright
E Keep ________________
 

T  Light and the dark
C          Every move leaves its mark
T  Yell and then hush
C          Why does it hurt so much
T  Dark and then light
C          Can we keep up the fight
T  Down and then up
C          Yeah it’s almost too much
 
You’ve got to
Slow
Ya
Roll
 
(hot damn, I survived)

so far

-
G                                                    Am
These eyes have smiled on the Buddha
C                                             F           C           G
Gazed the ocean, seen the colors of man’s sin
These ears took in rhythms and chanting
In foreign tongue, traded greetings with new friends
Cause I’ve been so far from home
I’ve been out there I’ve roamed
Surrounded, alone . . .

Walkdown x2
These feet have walked dusty dirty
They’ve walked barefoot, on grass and on stone
These hands have held finest China
They’ve held chopsticks, fingers, and bone
 
How do I bring it all BACK?
It fills up the PACK
Such a tall stack of experience
Cause I’ve been so far from home
I’ve been out there I’ve roamed
Surrounded, alone . . .

(bridge) Walkdown x4
I’ll come back better than (F) ever (C) (G)
I'll come back

(G) Instrumental verse

These eyes have smiled on the Buddha (Walked dusty, dirty)
 Gazed the ocean, seen the colors of man’s sin (grass and on stone)
 These ears took in rhythms and chanting (held finest China)
 In foreign tongue, traded greetings with new friends
 
But I’ve been so far from home
Couldn’t even pick up the phone
Now this world’s not my own
How do I land
            (please take my hand)
I don’t know how to land
            (please take my hand)
And welcome me home
Lead me on home…………………….
Cause I’ve been so far
So far
So far   so farrrr
So far from home.

Every single day,         F C G
We rise, we shine
Out for the hunt
Out to make our dime
Solitary creature,
One way, one possibility,    
One option each day        E
Never giving in to fate      F C G
 
Blue sky, Low shallow sun
One creature on  A smooth, focused run
Reach Peace River for the morning meal
As we circle, we search  
As we search, we wait    E
Never giving in to fate     F C G
 
Deep plunge, an iron grip
Not letting go the entire trip
It’s a long way
back to that nest
Close to heaven, we rest
As we rest, we wait     E
Never giving in to fate
 
Fly High, Dive Deep/
How far will you travel with that prize
Fly High, Dive Deep
Destination reflected in your eyes
Fly High, Dive Deep
            Nothing will get in your way
Fly High, Dive Deep
It’s what you do every day








"Slow Ya Roll"

-You never know what a new day might bring.
A car accident on 1/18/18  brought all levels of change to my life.

The guy behind me at a stoplight confused the gas for the brake and slammed into me at 40 mph, leaving me with a traumatic brain and neck injury which has slowed me way down...

The road to recovery=constant discovery.

 





















































​
​-"So Far" was inspired by a thirty day cruise
I had the gift of taking with my mom,
in January, 2017.

It took us from Cape Town South Africa,
across the Indian Ocean to Singapore.

Definitely life changing

​ in ways difficult to articulate.  

This song is my response.

LYRICS- TIFFINY, 2013
MUSIC- TIFFINY AND REED

Verse
How it feels to go home,
To no longer roam
Not the journey, but the destination
Safety awaits
There's a peace in that space
A softness that bears no explanation
 
As I fly through the clouds
The noise is so loud
But can't drown out the voice inside my head
Time in a knot
This bottle's all I've got
To make sense of the stacks that lie ahead
(and that pillow fits just right over my head)
 
Chorus
Yes it's time to go home
Put down the phone
Time to finish everything you started
 
**INST. VERSE** to bridge
 
----------bridge--------
Whatever it looks like
When it's time, it's time
Lay your heart open
Lay it on the line
(I'll see you in that Line)
 INST.  Half  VERSE to chorus
 
Chorus
It's time to come clean
Surrender to the stream
Time to prepare
For the final healing
 
              
If you  focus on the prize
Wide open are your eyes
The finish line
Is not too far away
Safety awaits
There's a peace in that space
A softness that bears no explanation

Ahboo's turn

- T. Coffey, 2013
​                     *When we first started recording these songs in 2013, my parents became our key patrons, supporting the band's major expenses of recording and producing.  Then my Dad (known by his grandkids as "Ahboo") was diagnosed with a malignant, unexcisable brain tumor.  During his decline and our recording process, he suggested a list of names for the project.  "
Ahboo's Turn" was first on the list, followed by fifteen other ideas for the CD name, all starting with "Ahboo's.....___". 
I decided to write a song for him with this name, rather than name the entire project after it. He passed on September. 1, 2013. 
​He got to hear it, but, I don't think he really *heard* it.  I truly hope he likes the song.  I hope you do too. 


It's been a long road
bumpy and wide
​He's carried his load
and always provides

It's taken him high
To peaks unseen
It's taken him low
And all in between

​It's Ahboo's Turn
while we all live and learn
Our road is our own
And we're all going home


Deep inside, we know
a big part of our job
​Is to reach out, help God bless others
​by blessing them ourselves

​All peace that comes
with faith to fly
​Our fathers have shown
that love multiplies

​It's Ahboo's Turn
​while we all live and learn
Our road is our own
​And we're all going home.
Eat, Drink, Boogie, Repeat
*by The Ladybugs...for Tina McCain. 2014

C                             G

You slipped right in

                         Dm                                F                                                                                                             

Took your place and you started to smile

C             G

It did begin

               Dm                                                          F

Twenty years ago, that’s been quite awhile

  G                                =F                      C                                                    G

-coulda maybe just let it all go, when the first leg didn’t work out

Dm                                    F                                             C   G                               Dm

Took it to Atlanta and the magic was born, and with Juniper it started to sprout….

(chorus)

Am                         C                                                         

Eat, Drink, Boogie, Repeat

              G                                      Dm

Get in touch with your body and rest.

Am                         C

Ask questions, get answers

               G                           Dm   F
Don’t settle for anything less


……..

C                             G

Yeah, slip right in

                         Dm                                F

Right to the front and open those eyes

C             G

Take it all in

Dm                                                         F

Let ‘em know they’re there in your sights

G                                =F                        C                                                    G

Your sight, your sound, your tastes, just look at that smile

Dm               F                            C                                       G                               Dm

We’re here, just us, free & easy, just stay for a while…

Chorus

Jam please

Could we begin?

Do it again and just open those eyes

Your life’s a WIN

Your  beauty on the wings of the butterflies

No fear, no doubt, nobody’s broken, and we get to the end

we’re here, without, but we thank you, our friend

Chorus

Perfection  -T. Coffey, 2012

Lookin' back through the years

Reckonin’ with my fears

Seein’ pictures of us,

With bad haircuts, rusty cars

You said I’d almost forgot

We’re either in or we’re not

So, the haircuts, the moles,

The warts and all….



Why does it have to be perfection?

When will it ever be perfection?

With all the cracks and the scars

We really have come this far

Yeah it’ll be enough

                                Perfection

Busy raisin’ that bar

Hopin’ they’ll go that far

Want ‘em only to do the best they can

So , it can’t always be

So let me set myself free

Keep my eyes wide open

For what matters

Chorus

Instrumental Verse

Bridge:

Just “letting go” is the hardest part

Not really sure that I can

I’ll write this song, then I’ll play it out

In my headddddddd
