Intro
[G] [C/G] [G] [C/G]
Verse 1
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. [G/F#]
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."
Chorus
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][C/G]Arlington.[C/G][G]
Verse 2
I [G]remember 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#]we finally [Em]found that cross,
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 [G]away from [C/G]him.
He [G]recognized me[G/C] on the first [G]day I came in.
And it [G/F#]gave [Em]me a chill when he [C]clicked his heels,[D]
And saluted [G]me.
Chorus
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][C/G]Arlington.[C/G][G]
Bridge
And [Em]everytime I [D]hear [G]twenty [G/F#]one [Em]guns,
[C]I know they brought another [G/B]hero [C]home to [D]us.
Outro
We're [Em]thankful for those [D/F#]thankful for the [C]things we've done.
We can [D]rest in peace;
We are the [C]chosen ones:[D]
We made it [G]to [C/G]Arlington.[C/G][G]
Yeah, [Em]dust to dust,
Don't [D]cry for us:
We made it to Arlington.
