Verse:
   D                 G
I was standing in my kitchen, listening to the morning news
   Asus     A        D
Some angry man was talking. God he didn't have a clue.
    D                 G
He was puttin' down our soldiers, fightin' all those wasted wars.
    Asus      A        D
I just had to turn it off, I couldn't take it anymore.
 G              A
I wanted to tell him, there's more than what he sees.
  Bm         A          G        Asus A Asus A
And before you tell me that I'm wrong, come spend a day with me.

Chorus:
      G         A
Meet me at Arlington. I'll introduce you to my son.
Bm        A        D   A
Maybe then you'll know just how I feel.
G
White stones that go on and on, four hundred thousand strong.
D         A         D   A
Wounds and broken hearts, that never heal.
 Bm            F#m
Reliving all the memories. Praying he'll come back to me.
G              A
Knowing in my heart he never will.
  G
And tell me that you feel the same way still.
      D     G       D     G
Meet me at Arlington.  Meet me at Arlington.


Verse:
     D                G
You can almost hear the stories, of the lives they left behind.
Asus       A        D
Names and numbers etched in stone, here before their time.
     D                G
When you see the caisson rolling and you hear the music play.
     A               D
When you see a child kneeling by their fallen father's grave.
    G
Man if that don't change you, then I don't understand.
     Bm         A          G         Asus A Asus A
'Cause if you can't see from where you are, then look from where I am.

Chorus:
        G
Well there's a stone for every soldier, and the reason that you're free.
      Bm     A       G        Asus A Asus a
To say the things you wanna say and believe what you believe.

      G         A
Meet me at Arlington. I'll introduce you to my son.
