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