    Verse 1
    Have 
    you heard 
    of 
    the ship 

    called 
    the 
    good 
    Reuben 
    James? 

    Manned 
    by 
    hard 
    fighting 
    men 

    of 
    both 
    honor 
    and 
    fame 

    She 
    flew 
    the Stars 
    and 
    Stripes 
    of 

    the 
    Land 
    of 
    the 
    Free 

    But tonight 
    she's 
    in her 
    grave 

    at 
    the bot
    tom 
    of 
    the sea. 

    Verse 2
    Tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    a 
    friend 
    on 
    the 

    good 
    Reuben 
    James? 

    What 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their names, 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    a friend 
    on 
    the good 
    Reuben 

    James? 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 3
    'Twas 
    there 
    in 
    the dark 
    of 

    that 
    uncertain 
    night 

    That we 
    watched 
    for 
    the you- 
    boats 

    and 
    waited 
    for 
    a fight
    . 

    Then 
    a whine 
    and 
    a rock 
    and 
    a 

    great 
    explosion 
    roar 

    And they 
    laid 
    the 
    Reuben 
    James 

    on 
    the 
    cold 
    ocean 
    floor. 

    Verse 4

    were 
    their

    what 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    a 
    friend 
    on 
    the 

    good 
    Re
    uben 
    James? 

    What 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their names, 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    a friend

    the good 
    Reuben 
    James?

    Now tonight 
    there 
    are 
    lights 

    in our 
    country 
    so 
    bright. 

    In the 
    farms 
    and 
    the 
    cities 
    they 

    are 
    telling 
    of 
    this 
    fight. 

    Now 
    our 
    mighty 
    battleships 
    will 
    steam 

    the bounding 
    main

    the 
    good 
    Reuben

    were 
    their 
    names, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their names, 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    a friend

      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 🙂

      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.
