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