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