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

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 4]
A# F A#
Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
F A#
And those cold icy waters are still and are calm
D# A#
Many years have passed, but still I wonder why
F A#
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die
[CHORUS]
A# D# Cm
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names
F D# A#
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
A# D# Cm
What were their names, tell me what were their names
F D# A#
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
[CHORUS]
A# D# Cm
What were their names, tell me what were their names
F D# A#
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
A# D# Cm
What were their names, tell me what were their names
F D# A#
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
