contents We describe the dynamics of many-body quantum chaotic systems at all time scales by studying the Green's and out-of-time order correlation (OTOC) functions of the four-body, $N$-Majorana Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. By combining the scramblon formalism and random-matrix-theory techniques, we obtain analytical expressions for these functions at all times. The early exponential growth of the OTOC is followed by an exponential decay at a rate governed by that of the Green's function (the real part of the leading complex Ruelle-Pollicott resonances). For late times that scale exponentially with $N$, both functions have a dip-ramp-plateau pattern for $N \mathrm{mod}8 = 2, 6$ that deviates substantially from the ergodic prediction due to local-in-energy correlations of matrix elements and eigenvalues, even after the Heisenberg time.
