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