[VERSE 1]
D A D
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
A D
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and of fame
G D
She flew the Stars and Stripes for the land of the free
A D
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea
[CHORUS]
D G Em
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
D G Em
What were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
[VERSE 2]
D A D
One hundred men went down to their dark and watery grave
A D
When that good ship was sunk only forty-four were saved
G D
T’was the last day of October when they saved the forty-four
A D
From those dark, icy waters by that cold Iceland shore
[CHORUS]
D G Em
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
D G Em
What were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
[VERSE 3]
D A D
It was there in the dark of that uncertain night
A D
That we watched for a U-boat and waited for a fight
G D
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared
A D
And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor
[CHORUS]
D G Em
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
D G Em
What were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[VERSE 4]
D A D
Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
A D
And those cold icy waters are still and are calm
G D
Many years have passed, but still I wonder why
A D
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die
[CHORUS]

Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names

What were their names, tell me what were their names

What were their names, tell me what were their names
A G D
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
