C#
The continent of Atlantis was an island
D#
Which lay before the great flood
       F#
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
C#                                  G#
So great an area of land, that from her western
C#
shores, those beautifulsailors journeyed
       D#
to the south and the North Americas with ease,
         F#                        C#
in their ships with painted sails.
G#           C#
To the east Africa was a neighbor across
D#
a short strait of sea miles.
F#
The great Egyptian age is but a
    C#              G#
remnant of the Atlantian culture.

C#
The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;
D#
All the Gods who play a part in the
F#
mythological dramas in all legends
            C#                           G#
from all  lands were from fair Atlantis.
C#
Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships
               D#
to all corners of the earth.
D#
On board were the twelve, the poet,
F#
the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
        C#
the magician, and the other
          G#
so called Gods of our legends.
C#
Thoʼ Gods they were and as the elders
       D#
of our time choose to remain blind,
D#
let us rejoice and let us
F#                                  C#
sing and dance and ring in the new.

             G#
Hail Atlantis!
C#                  D#
Way down below the ocean
F#               C#
where I wanna be
        G#
she may be
