The Sinking Of The Reuben James (The Kingston Trio)

		Verse 1:
 C                               G           C                    
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James 
 C                                  G         C                   
Armed by hard fighting men both of honor and fame? 
 C                                    F            C
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free 
 C                                    G             C
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea.  

Chorus:
 C                          C7             F               Dm
Oh, Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names, 
 G                           F           C     
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? 
 C                                   F          Dm
What were their names, tell me, what were their names? 
 G                           F           C
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James 
 
Verse 2:
 C                                 G           C
One hundred men went down to their dark watery graves. 
 C                                 G               C    
When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved. 
 C                                 F               C
'Twas the last day of October they saved the forty-four 
 C                               G            C
From the dark icy water off that cold Iceland shore.  
 
Chorus:
 C                          C7             F               Dm
Oh, Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names, 
 G                           F           C     
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? 
 C                                   F          Dm
What were their names, tell me, what were their names? 
 G                           F           C
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James 
 
Verse 3:
 C      C                        G            C
It was there in the dark on that cold, watery night 
 C                                    G            C      
They watched for the U-boats and they waited for a fight. 
 C                            F               C
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared 
 C                                     G          C
And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor.  
 
Chorus:
 C                          C7             F               Dm
Oh, Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names, 
 G                           F           C     
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? 
 C                                   F          Dm
What were their names, tell me, what were their names? 
 G                           F           C
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James 
 
Verse 4:
 C                 G                            C
Many years have passed since those brave men are gone, 
                       G                C
Those cold icy waters are still and their calm, 
                        F                C
Many years have passed and still I wonder why, 
                                  G               C
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die. 
 
Chorus:
 C                          C7             F               Dm
Oh, Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names, 
 G                           F           C     
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? 
 C                                   F          Dm
What were their names, tell me, what were their names? 
 G                           F           C
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
