Reuben
 i've been told
 that you got fire  in your pocket
filling  every hole
 and it's old
 it's old
reuben
 i've been told
 you're selling fire  to the devil
 you're filling  up his hole
 now he grows
 he grows
Then  play a bass run from D to G on the 2nd 3rd and 4th fret of the D string.
every  time i hear you i go howling in the half light
ay  ay ah-ooh-ooh
ay  ay ah-ooh-ooh
but  every time i do, i wish i'd hear a little howl back
ay  ay ah-ooh-ooh
hear  a little howl  back
reuben
 you've been seen
 you're bringing sunshine  before you
riding  on the  beam
 now i'm told
 im told
 and how  long
 you keep me still
 i will be quiet  for our lady
quiet  for no evil
 Bass run
 you may keep your business to yourself
every  time i hear you i go howling in the half light
ay  ay ah-ooh-ooh
ay  ay ah-ooh-ooh
but  every time i do, i wish i'd hear a little howl back
ay  ay ah-ooh-ooh
Hear  a little howl back
For the next part where she says Ooh ooh ooh... play this
