G              Am7
  Rebekah rode up on
                C9
The afternoon train, it was sunny
G                            Am7
  Her saltbox house on the coast 
                   C9
Ttook her mind off  St. Louis
G               Am7
  Bill was the heir
                G/B          C9
To the Standard Oil name and money
         G
And the town said
          Am7                   C9
"How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
G/B                  Am7
    The wedding was charming
             C9
If a little gauche
                                G/B
There's only so far new money goes
                    Am7
 They picked out a home
                        C9
And called it "Holiday House"
G/B                     Am7
    Their parties were tasteful
              Em
If a little loud
                 C9
 The doctor had told him to settle down
G/B                    Am7
    It must have been her
                 C/E
Fault his heart gave out

And they said

D                 G/B                 C9      G
  There goes the last great American dynasty
D/F#                G/B
  Who knows, if she never showed up
               C9   G
What could've been
D/F#               G/B
  There goes the maddest woman
              C9
This town has ever seen
           G
She had a marvelous time
 Am7               C9
Ruining everything

G              Am7
  Rebekah gave up on
                  C9
The Rhode Island set forever
G                  Am7
  Flew in all her Bitch Pack
                  C9
Friends from the city
            G/B        Am7
Filled the pool with champagne

And swam with the big names
      Em
 And blew through the money
        C9
On the boys and the ballet
G                Am7                 C9
  And losing on card game bets with Dalí

And they said

[Refrão]

D/F#              G                   C9      G
  There goes the last great American dynasty

  Who knows, if she never showed up
               C9   G
What could've been
D/F#              G
  There goes the most shameless woman

This town has ever seen
D/F#                       G            C9    G/B
  She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[Ponte]

Am7                  Em
   They say she was seen on occasion
G
  Pacing the rocks, staring
D/F#
Out at the midnight sea
Am7          Em
   And in a feud with her neighbor
G                         D/F#
   She stole his dog and dyed

It key lime green
Am7        Em
    Fifty years is a long time
 G                   D/F#
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Am7          Em
    Free of women with madness
       G
Their men and bad habits
D/F#
 And then it was bought by me

( G  C9  G )

[Refrão]

D/F#
  Who knows, if
G
I never showed up
               C9  G/B
What could've been
D/F#                  G
  There goes the loudest woman
