The continent of Atlantis was an island

Which lay before the great flood
A#
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

So great an area of land, that from her western

shores, those beautiful sailors journeyed
G
to the south and the North Americas with ease,
A# F
in their ships with painted sails.
C F
To the east Africa was a neighbor across
G
a short strait of sea miles.

The great Egyptian age is but a

remnant of the Atlantian culture.

The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;
G
All the Gods who play a part in the

mythological dramas in all legends
F C
from all lands were from fair Atlantis.

Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships
G
to all corners of the earth.

On board were the twelve, the poet,

the physician, the farmer, the scientist,

the magician, and the other

so called Gods of our legends.

Tho' Gods they were and as the elders

of our time choose to remain blind,

let us rejoice and let us

sing and dance and ring in the new.

Hail Atlantis!
F G
Way down below the ocean
A# F
where I wanna be
C
she may be
(repeat and fade from 'way down')
