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