Tonart: Eb major•
Verse 1
Db
Eb
Ruben James,
Bb
Eb
in my song you live again
Ab
Eb
And the phrases that I rhyme
Bb
Eb
are just the footsteps out of time
Ab
Eb
For the time when I knew you,
Bb
Eb
Ruben James
Ruben James, all the folks around Madison
Bb
Eb
County cussed your name
Ab
Gents of no account,
Eb
sharecropping colored men
Bb
Eb
Who'd steal anything he can
Ab
And they always put the blame
Eb
Bb
Eb
on Reuben James
Reuben James,
Ab
Eb
you still walk the first field of my mind
Ab
The faded shirt, the weathered brow
Eb
The calloused hand upon the plow
Db
Loved you then and I love you now
Floor of gray,
the gospel of Madison
Bb
Eb
County died with child
Ab
Eb
And although your skin was black,
Bb
you was the one that
Eb
didn't turn your back
Ab
Eb
On a hungry white child with no name,
Bb
Eb
Reuben James
Reuben James,
with your mind on my soul
Bb
Bbm
Eb
and the Bible in your right hand
Ab
Eb
You said, turn the other cheek,
Bb
Eb
there's a better world waiting for the meek
Ab
Eb
In my mind these words remain from
Bb
Eb
Reuben James
Ab
Reuben James, you still walk
Eb
the furrowed fields of my mind
Ab
The faded shirt, the weathered brow,
Eb
the calloused hand upon the plow
Db
Love you then and I love you now,
E
Reuben James, one dark Friday
B
E
they brought you from the field
A
And that lonely pine box
E
B
E
came just to preach her me and the rain
A
E
To sing one last refrain
for Reuben James
Reuben James,
A
E
you still walk the first field of my mind
A
The faded shirt, the weathered brow,
E
the Dallas hand upon the plow
D
Loved you then and I love you now,
Ruben James
