[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I [G]never thought that [C]this
is where I'd set[G]tle [C]down
I [G]thought I'd die an [C]old man
back in [G]my hometown
They [D]gave me this [Em]plot of land
Me and some oth[C]er men,
for a job [G]well-done[C]
There's a [G]big white house
Sits [C]on a hill just [G]up the [C]road
The [G]man inside
He [C]cried the day they [G]brought me home
They [D]folded up [Em]a flag
and told my [C]mom and dad
[D]"We're proud of you[G]r son"

[Chorus 1]
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
[D]I'm tha[Em]nkful for those tha[D]nkful
For the [C]things I've done
I can [D]rest in peace
I'm one of the [C]chosen [D]ones
I made it to [G]Arling[C]ton[G][C]

[Verse 2]
I re[G]member Daddy [C]brought me here
when [G]I was e[C]ight
We [G]searched all day
To [C]find out where my [G]granddad lay
And when we [D]finally [Em]found that cross
He said, "Son this is [C]what it costs
[D]To keep us fre[G]e"[C]
Now [G]here I am,
a [C]thousand stones a[G]way from [C]him
He [G]recognized me on the first day [G]I came in
And [D]it gave me [Em]a chill
When he [C]clicked his heels
[D]And saluted me[G]

[Chorus 2]
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
[D]And I'm tha[Em]nkful for those tha[D]nkful
For the [C]things I've done
I can [D]rest in peace
I'm one of the [C]chosen [D]ones
I made it to [G]Arling- [C]ton[G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]And every time I hea[D]r twe[G]nty- one[D] gun[Em]s
[Am]I know they brought another hero[G]
[C]home to [D]us
[C][D][G]
[C][D][G]
[D]We're tha[Em]nkful for those tha[D]nkful
For the [C]things we've done
we can [D]rest in peace
'Cause we are the [C]chosen [D]ones
We made it to [G]Arling[C]ton[G]
[G]Yeah,

[Outro 1]
[C]dust to dust
Don't [D]cry for us
We made it to Arlington
[G][C][G][C][G]
