Verse
A
It was the year of our father
D A E
Nineteen-hundred and seventy-six in JA
F#m D A
When I first met my Mary, quite contrary to what
E
My mother did say
A D
She was a mountain girl come to Spanish Town
A E
I was only there for a while
F#m D
But when I think back on all the love we shared
A E
I just can't but help to smile
A D
We spent one whole long year together
A E
And at the end, I had to go
F#m D
By my Mary's side, I wept and cried
A E
I'd never been laid so low
A D
She said, Boy when you first met me
A E
You were as green as a mango tree
F#m D
Hmm, but now you are a man, go back to your land
A E
But first listen carefully
[Chorus]
A D
You can smoke two pounds of Cali herb by yourself then
A E
Try to stand on your head
F#m D
No matter how high you get, you'll never forget
A E A
The wonders of Mary's bed
[Verse]
A D
Now my Mary's sweet smell was in my nose
A E
And her vision, it robbed me blind
F#m D
And as I crossed the sea, it occurred to me
A E
That I left myself behind
A D
She was my natural mystic, sweet sugarplum
A E
I still ask, why did I go
F#m D
They say your first love is your hardest love
A E
And I'd have to say that's so
A D
And it's a day and another day and a way and another way
A E
Had a family once but they're gone
F#m D
Now it don't strike me as weird, there's grey in my beard
A E
But her words still linger on
[Chorus]
A D
You can smoke two pounds of Cali herb by yourself then
A E
Try to stand on your head
F#m D
No matter how high you get, you'll never forget
A E A
The wonders of Mary's bed
[Verse]
A D
Now there's nothing for me left here 'cept some broken dreams
A E
Disappointments, I've had a few
F#m D
But there's this place I know where the mangroves grow
A E
And there's just one thing left to do
A D
I'll go back to my Mary's bed, plant a kiss on her head
A E
And pretend that time just stood still
F#m D
Then I can live out my life like it should have been
A E
And the rest will be what it will
A D
So I went back to the bar where we first met
A E
Asked the bartender, where could she be
F#m D
And as he poured me a beer, he said, last year
A E
She left this world peacefully
A D
Then every man in the bar looked at me
A E
They said, old man don't you see
F#m D
That we were all touched by Mary just like you
A E
Now she lives on in our memories
[Chorus]
A D
And we all can smoke two pounds of Cali herb by ourselves then
A E
Try to stand on our heads
F#m D
No matter how high we get, we'll never forget
A E A
The wonders of Mary's bed
A D
And we can run two hundred miles through a ganja field until
A E
All we see is red
F#m D
And we can shout it out, were still thinking about
A E A
The wonders of Mary's bed
A D
And so we sing, jump around sweet Mary
A E
You know we all have to move along
F#m D
You never know what you've got in this cruel world
A E A
Until you realize it's gone
