Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
G                                                                                            D                      G  
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
G                                                                                                 C                              G  
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free
G                                                                                                 D                                 G  
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea.
G                                                                                                    C                                         Am  
Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names,

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?

G                                                                                             D                            G  
Well, a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave
G                                                                                         D                                      G  
When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved.
G                                                                                      C                                      G  
'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty-four
G                                                                                         D                    G  
From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore.
G                                                                                                    C                                         Am  
Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names,

verse 3
G                                                                                D                      G  
It was there in the dark of that uncertain night
G                                                                                            D                              G  
That we watched for the U-boats and waited for a fight.
G                                                                              C                                         G  
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared
G                                                                                                    D                         G  
And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor.
G                                                                                                    C                                         Am  
Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names,

G                                                        D                                                            G  
Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright
G                                                                                                      D                                    G  
In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight.
G                                                                                              C                                            G  
And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main
G                                                                              D                              G  
And remember the name of that good Reuben James.
G                                                                                                    C                                         Am  
Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names,
