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

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

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