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