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