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

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

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