Verse
D
It was the year of our father
G D A
Nineteen-hundred and seventy-six in JA
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm G
You never know what you've got in this cruel world
D A D
Until you realize it's gone
