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.

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.
