[VERSE 1]
A E A
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
E 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
E A
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea
[CHORUS]
A D Bm
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names
E D A
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
A D Bm
What were their names, tell me what were their names
E D A
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
[VERSE 2]
A E A
One hundred men went down to their dark and watery grave
E 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
E A
From those dark, icy waters by that cold Iceland shore
[CHORUS]
A D Bm
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names
E D A
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
A D Bm
What were their names, tell me what were their names
E D A

[VERSE 3]
A E A
It was there in the dark of that uncertain night
E 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
E A
And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor
[CHORUS]
A D Bm
Tell me, what were their names, tell me what were their names

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

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

What were their names, tell me what were their names

What were their names, tell me what were their names
