Rueben James

Rueben (D) James in my (A7) song youll live a (D) gain 
And the (G) phrases that I  (D) rhyme 
Are just the (A7) footsteps out-a  (D) time 
From a  (G) time when I (D) knew (A7) Rueben  (D) James 
 
Rueben (D) James all the folks around Madison (A7) County cussed your (D) name 
Just a (G) no account share-croppin (D) colored man 
Who (A7) steal anything he (D) can 
And  (G) everybody laid the (D) blame on (A7) Rueben (D) James 
 
    Rueben (G) James you still walk the fertile fields of my  (D) mind 
    Faded (G) shirt weathered brow  
    Callused (D) hands upon the plow 
    I loved you (C) then and I love you now Rueben (D) James 
 
Flora (D) Graves the gossip of Madison (A7) County died with (D) child 
And al (G) though your skin was (D) black 
You were the (A7) one who didnt turn your (D) back 
On a (G) hungry white child with (D) no name (A7) Rueben (D) James 
 
Rueben (D) James with your mind on my soul and a (A7) bible in your right (D)  
hand 
You said (G) turn the other (D) cheek 
Theres a (A7) better world waitin for the (D) meek 
In my (G) mind these words re (D) main from (A7) Rueben (D) James 
 
    Rueben (G) James you still walk the fertile fields of my  (D) mind 
    Faded (G) shirt weathered brow  
    Callused (D) hands upon the plow 
    I loved you (C) then and I love you now Rueben (D) James 
 
Rueben (E) James one dark cloudy day they (B7) brought you from the (E) field 
And to your (A) lonely pine box (E) came 
Just a (B7) preacher me and the (E) rain 
To (A) sing one last re (E) frain for (B7) Rueben (E) James 
 
    Rueben (A) James you still walk the fertile fields of my  (E) mind 
    Faded (A) shirt weathered brow  
    Callused (E) hands upon the plow 
    I loved you (D) then and I love you now Rueben (E) James 
 
Repeat Chorus and fade out.
