Verse 1
(G major) Have you heard of the ship
called that (D major) good Reuben Jane? (G major)
A man by heart, fighting men,
both of honor (D major) and (G major) fame.
She flew the stars and stripes
of the land (C major) of the (G major) free.
But tonight she's in her grave
at the (D major) bottom of the (G major) sea.
Tell me, what were their names?
(C major) What were their names?
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
What were their names?
What (C major) were their names?
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
It was there in the dark
of that cold (D major) uncertain night
(G major) We watched for the U -boats
and waited (D major) for a (G major) fight
Then a whine and a rock
and a great (C major) explosion roared (G major)
They laid the Reuben James
on that (D major) cold ocean floor (G major)
Tell me what were their names,
what (C major) were their names
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
What were their names?
(C major) What were their names?
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
(C major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major)
(D major)
(G major) A hundred men went down
to their dark (D major) and watery grave (G major)
When that good ship went down,
only 44 (D major) were (G major) saved
Was the last day of October,
they (C major) saved 44 (G major)
From the dark icy waters
of that (D major) cold Iceland shore (G major)
Tell me, what were their names?
(C major) What were their names?
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
What were their names?
What (C major) were their names?
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
Their stars will shine
in our (D major) country tonight
(G major) In the towns and the cities
they're telling (D major) of this (G major) fight
Now our mighty battleships
will (C major) steam the bounding (G major) main
And remember the name
of that (D major) good Reuben Jane (G major)
Tell me, what were their names?
What (C major) were their names?
Did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
What were their names?
What (C major) were their names?
Did you (D major) have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
(D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Tell me what were their names,
what (C major) were their names,
did (D major) you have a friend
on the good Reuben James? (G major)
Tell me what were their names,
what (C major) were their names,
did (D major) you have a friend
Outro 1
on the good Reuben Yeah!
(C major) (G major)
