G G D G 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 this land of the free G D G But tonight she's in her grave on the bottom of the sea. (Chorus) G C Am Tell me what was their names, tell me what was their names, D C G Did you have a friend on that good Reuben James? G C Am What was their names, tell me, what was their names? D C G Did you have a friend on that good Reuben James Verse 2 G 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.
