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

[VERSE 4]
E B E
Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
B E
And those cold icy waters are still and are calm
A E
Many years have passed, but still I wonder why
B E
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

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
E A F#m
What were their names, tell me what were their names

What were their names, tell me what were their names
B A E
