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

Chorus:
D                 G                  C     G
 There goes the last great American dynasty
D               G                                  C   G
 Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
D                G                          C
 There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
           G              Am              C
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

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

Chorus

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
And then it was bought by me

Chorus:
Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
I had a marvelous time ruining everything

I had a marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time
I had a marvelous time
