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