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