[Verse 1]
G D Cadd9
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
G D
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind
Cadd9
off St. Louis
G D Cadd9
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
G D
And the town said,
D Cadd9
"How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
G D Cadd9
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
G
There's only so far new money goes
D Cadd9
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
G D Cadd9
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
G
The doctor had told him to settle down
D Cadd9
It must have been her fault his heart gave out
N.C.
And they said
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9
There goes the last great American dynasty
G D Cadd9
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
G D Cadd9
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
G D Cadd9
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9
Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
G D Cadd9
Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city
G D
Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
Em7 C
And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
G D C
And losing on card game bets with Dalí
N.C.
And they said
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9
There goes the last great American dynasty
G D Cadd9
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
G D Cadd9
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
G D Cadd9
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[Bridge]
Am Em7
They say she was seen on occasion
G D
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
Am Em7
And in a feud with her neighbor
G D
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Am Em7
Fifty years is a long time
G D
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Am Em7 G
Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits
D
And then it was bought by me
[Interlude]
G Cadd9 G
[Chorus]
G D
Who knows, if I never showed up,
Cadd9
what could've been
G D
There goes the loudest woman
Cadd9
this town has ever seen
G D Cadd9
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
[Outro]
G D Cadd9
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
G D Cadd9
a marvelous time ruining everything
G D Cadd9
a marvelous time
G D Cadd9
I had a marvelous time
