Arlington

[G]   [C/G]   [G]   [C/G]

I  [G]  never thought that  [C/G]  this is where I'd  [G]  settle down.  [C/G]
I  [G]  thought I'd die an  [C/G]  old man back in  [G]  my hometown.
They gave ([G/f#]) me this  [Em]  plot of land,
Me and some  [C]  other men,  [D]  for a job  [G]  well done.  [C/G]

There's a  [G]  big White House sits  [C/G]  on a hill just  [G]  up the road.  [C/G]
The  [G]  man inside, he  [C/G]  cried the day they  [G]  brought me home.
They ([G/f#]) folded  [Em]  up a flag and told my  [C]  Mom and Dad:  [D]
"We're proud of  [G]  your son."

  And I'm  [C]  proud to be on this  [D]  peaceful piece of  [G]  property.
  I'm on  [C]  sacred ground and I'm  [D]  in the best of  [G]  company.
  I'm  [Em]  thankful for those  [D]  thankful for the  [C]  things I've done.
  I can  [D]  rest in peace;
  I'm one of the  [C]  chosen ones:  [D]
  I made it to  [G]  Arlington.  [C/G]   [G]   [C/G]

I re G member Daddy  C/G  brought me here when  G  I was eight.  C/G
We  G  searched all day to  C/G  find out where my  G  granddad lay.
And when  G/F
He said: "Son, this is  C  what it costs  D  to keep us  G  free."  C/G

Now  [G]  here I am, a  [G/C]  thousand stones [A] [G] way from him.  [C/G]
He  G  recognized me  G/C  on the first day  G  I came in.
And it  G/F
And saluted  G  me.

And  Em  everytime I  D  hear  G  twenty  G/F
 C  I know they brought another  G/B  hero  C  home to  D  us.

  We're  Em  thankful for those  D/F
  We can  D  rest in peace;
  We are the  C  chosen ones:  D
  We made it to  G  Arlington.  C/G   G   C/G

  Yeah,  Em  dust to dust,
  Don't  D  cry for us:
   [N.C.]  We made it to Arlington.
