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