The continent of Atlantis was an island
C#
Which lay before the great flood
E
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
B F#
So great an area of land, that from her western
B
shores, those beautiful sailors journeyed
C#
to the south and the North Americas with ease,
E B
in their ships with painted sails.
F# B
To the east Africa was a neighbor across
C#
a short strait of sea miles.
E
The great Egyptian age is but a
B F#
remnant of the Atlantian culture.
B
The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;
C#
All the Gods who play a part in the
E
mythological dramas in all legends
B F#
from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
B
Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships
C#
to all corners of the earth.
C#
On board were the twelve, the poet,
E
the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
B
the magician, and the other
F#
so called Gods of our legends.
B
Tho' Gods they were and as the elders
C#
of our time choose to remain blind,
C#
let us rejoice and let us
E B
sing and dance and ring in the new.
F#
Hail Atlantis!
B C#
Way down below the ocean
E B
where I wanna be
F#
she may be
(repeat and fade from 'way down')
