Intro: G


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

And they said
 

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

G              Am7          
  Rebekah gave up on 
                  C
The Rhode Island set forever
G                  Am7              
  Flew in all her Bitch Pack 
                  C
Friends from the city
            G        Am7            
Filled the pool with champagne 
      
And swam with the big names
      Em                  
 And blew through the money 
        C
On the boys and the ballet
G                Am7                 C
  And losing on card game bets with Dalí

And they said
 

D                 G                   C      G
  There goes the last great American dynasty
D                G                 
  Who knows, if she never showed up
               C   G
What could've been
D                 G               
  There goes the most shameless woman 
      C
This town has ever seen
           D              G                 C  G
She had a marvelous time ruining everything 


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

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

D              
  Who knows, if 
G                             
I never showed up
               C  G
What could've been
D                 G              
  There goes the loudest woman

This town has ever seen
