The Last Great American Dynasty

[Primeira Parte]

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

  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         G
This town has ever seen
          D
She had a marvelous time
G             C    G
Ruining everything

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

D              G
There goes the most shameless woman
              C        G
This town has ever seen
          D
She had a marvelous time
G             C    G
Ruining everything

[Ponte]

Am                Em
They say she was seen on occasion
G
Pacing the rocks, staring
D
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              Am
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
        Em
Free of women with madness
       G
Their men and bad habits
    D
And then it was bought by me
