The Last Great American Dynasty

==

[G]Rebekah rode [Am]up on the afternoon [C]train, it was sunny
[G]Her saltbox house on the [Am]coast took her mind off [C]St. Louis
[G]Bill was the [Am]heir to the Standard Oil [C]name and money
And the [G]town said, "How did a [Am]middle-class divor[C]cée do it?"

[G]The wedding was [Am]charming, if a little gauche
[C]There's only so far new money goes
[G]They picked out a [Am]home and called it "Holiday [C]House"
[G]Their parties were [Am]tasteful, if a little loud
[C]The doctor had told him to settle down
[G]It must have been [Am]her fault his heart [C]gave out

And they said [D]there goes the [G]last great American [C]dynasty [G] [D]Who knows, if she [G]never showed up, what could've [C]been [G] [D]There goes the [G]maddest woman this town [C]has ever seen
She had a [G]marvelous time [Am]ruining everything [C] [G]Rebekah gave [Am]up on the Rhode Island [C]set forever
[G]Flew in all her [Am]Bitch Pack friends from the [C]city
Filled the [G]pool with champagne and [Am]swam with the big names
And [C]blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
[G]And losing on [Am]card game bets with Da[C]lí

And they said [D]there goes the [G]last great American [C]dynasty [G] [D]Who knows, if she [G]never showed up, what could've [C]been [G] [D]There goes the [G]maddest woman this town [C]has ever seen
She had a [G]marvelous time [Am]ruining everything [C] [Am]They say she was [Em]seen on occasion
[G]Pacing the rocks, staring [D]out at the midnight sea
[Am]And in a [Em]feud with her neighbor
[G]She stole his dog and [D]dyed it key lime green
[Am]Fifty years [Em]is a long time
[G]Holiday House sat [D]quietly on that beach
[Am]Free of [Em]women with madness, their [G]men and bad habits
And [D]then it was bought by me

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