  • Verse 1
    Have 
    you 
    heard 
    of 
    a ship 
    called 

    the 
    good 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Manned 
    by 
    hard 
    fighting 
    men 

    both 
    of 
    honor 
    and 
    fame? 

    She 
    flew 
    the Stars 
    and 
    Stripes 

    of 
    the land 
    of 
    the free 

    But 
    to
    night 
    she's 
    in 
    her 
    grave 

    at 
    the 
    bottom 
    of 
    the sea. 

    Verse 2

    Tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    were 
    their 
    names, 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    friend 
    on 
    the 

    good 
    Reuben 
    James? 

    What 
    were 
    their 
    names, 
    tell 
    me, 

    what 
    were 
    their 
    names? 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    friend 
    on 
    the 

    good 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    hundred 
    men 
    went 
    down in 

    that 
    dark 
    watery 
    grave 

    When 
    that 
    good 
    ship went 
    down 
    only 

    forty- 
    four 
    were 
    saved. 

    'Twas 
    the 
    last 
    day 
    of 
    Octo
    ber 
    we 

    saved 
    the 
    forty- 
    four 

    From the 
    cold 
    ocean 
    waters 

    and 
    the cold 
    icy 
    shore. 

    Verse 4
    It 
    was 
    there 
    in 
    the 
    dark 
    of 

    that 
    un
    certain 
    night 

    That 
    we 
    watched 
    for 
    the U- 
    boats 

    and 
    waited 
    for a 
    fight. 

    Then 
    whine 
    and 
    rock 
    and 

    great 
    explosion 
    roared 

    And 
    they laid 
    the 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 5
    on 
    that cold 
    ocean 
    floor. 


    Now 
    tonight 
    there 
    are 
    lights 

    in 
    our 
    country 
    so 
    bright 

    In 
    the 
    farms 
    and 
    in 
    the 
    cities 

    they're 
    telling 
    of 
    the 
    fight. 

    And 
    now 
    our 
    mighty 
    battleships 

    will 
    steam 
    the bounding 
    main 

    And 
    remember 
    the 
    name 
    of 
    that 
    good 




    Reuben 
    James.

      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.
