    Verse 1
    Reuben 
    James 

    in my 
    song 
    you'll 
    live 
    again 

    And 
    the phrases 
    that 
    I 
    rhyme 
    are 

    just 
    the 
    footsteps 
    out 
    of 
    time 

    From 
    the time 
    when 
    I 
    knew 

    you 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Hey 
    Reuben 
    James 
    all 
    the folks 
    around 

    Madis
    on 
    Caunty cussed 
    your 
    name 

    Just 
    a 
    no 
    count 
    of colored 
    man 
    who'd 

    steal 
    anything 
    that 
    he 
    can 

    And 
    they 
    al
    ways 
    laid 
    the blame 

    on 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Hey 
    Reuben 
    James 
    you 
    still 
    walk 
    the 

    furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The faded 
    shirt 
    the 
    wrinkled 
    brow 

    the calloused 
    hand 
    upon 
    the 
    plow 

    I 
    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    I love 

    you 
    now 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Hey 
    Flora 
    Gray 
    well 
    the 
    gossip 
    of 
    Madison 

    County 
    died 
    with 
    the child 

    And 
    although 
    your 
    skin 
    was 
    black 
    you 

    were the 
    one 
    who didn't 
    turn 
    your 
    back 

    On 
    a 
    hungry 
    white 
    child 
    with 

    no 
    name 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Hey 
    Reuben 
    James 
    with 
    your mind 
    on 
    my 

    soul 
    and 
    Bible 
    in 
    your 
    right 
    hand 

    You said 
    turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 
    there's 

    a bet
    ter 
    world 
    waitin' 
    for 
    the meek 

    In 
    my 
    head 
    those 
    words 
    re

    main 
    from Reuben 
    James 

    Hey 
    Reuben 
    James 
    you still 
    walk... 

    Oh 
    Reuben 
    James 
    one cold dark 
    day 

    they brought 
    you 
    from 
    the field
    s 

    And 
    that lonely 
    pinebox came 
    just 
    a 

    preacher 
    me and 
    the rain 

    To sing 
    one 
    last 
    re
    frain 
    for 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Oh 
    Reuben 
    James 
    you still 

    Outro 1
    walk...

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
