[Verse 1]
G              A7sus4              Cadd9
  Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
    G                    A7sus4                      Cadd9
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
G                 A7sus4                    Em7      Cadd9
  Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
        G                    A7sus4               Cadd9
And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
G                    A7sus4                 Cadd9
  The wedding was charming, if a little gauche, there's only so far new money goes
G                   A7sus4                       Cadd9
  They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
G                       A7sus4                      Em7             Cadd9
  Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud, the doctor had told him to settle down
G                      A7sus4                    Cadd9
  It must have been her fault his heart gave out ,and they said

[Chorus]
D/F#               G                     Cadd9  Em7/B
    There goes the last great American dynasty
D/F#                 G                                   Cadd9  Em7/B
    Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
D/F#            G                                Cadd9
   There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
          G         A7sus4      Cadd9
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[Verse 2]
G                A7sus4                Cadd9
   Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
G                  A7sus4                      Cadd9
   Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city
G                                  A7sus4 
Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
    Em7                           Cadd9
And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
G                  A7sus4              Cadd9
     And losing on card game bets with Dalí, and they said

[Chorus]
D/F#               G                     Cadd9   Em7/B
    There goes the last great American dynasty
D/F#                 G                                   Cadd9   Em7/B
    Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
D/F#             G                                Cadd9
   There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
          D/F#          G                   Cadd9  Em7/B
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[Bridge]
Am                 Em
   They say she was seen on occasion
G                         D
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
Am         Em
   And in a feud with her neighbor
G                     D
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Am      Em
   Fifty years is a long time
G                 D
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Am        Em                  G
   Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits
D                            D
And then it was bought by me

G  Cadd9  Em7/B

[Verse 3]
D/F#         G                                         Cadd9  Em7/B
   Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been
D/F#         G                                         Cadd9  Em7/B
   There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
        D/F#          G                   Cadd9  Em7/B
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
        D/F#          G  Cadd9  Em7/B
I had a marvelous time               ruining everything
        D/F#          G  Cadd9  Em7/B
I had a marvelous time               ruining everything
        D/F#          G  Cadd9  Em7/B
I had a marvelous time
        D/F#          G  Cadd9
I had a marvelous time
