 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/B        C

 And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
G/B             Am                        C
 The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
                                 G/B
 There's only so far new money goes
                   Am                         C
 They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
G/B                 Am                        Em
 Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
                C                      G/B
 The doctor had told him to settle down
                   Am                          C/E

 There goes the last great American dynasty
D              G/B                                C   G
 Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
D               G/B                         C

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

 There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
          D              G                 C
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
 And then it was bought by me

G C G

I had a marvelous time ruining everything

 I had a marvelous time
