Selection chords: Henry Walker

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

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

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