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