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