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

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