  {c:Atlantis}

  {st:Donovan Leitch}

  

  [C]The continent of Atlantis was an island

  [D]Which lay before the great flood

  In the [F]area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

  [C]So great an area of land, that from[G] her western

  [C]shores, those beautifulsailors journeyed 

  to the [D]south and the North Americas with ease,

  in their [F]ships with painted sails.[C]

  [G]To the east [C]Africa was a neighbor across 

  [D]a short strait of sea miles.

  [F]The great Egyptian age is but a 

  remn[C]ant of the Atla[G]ntian culture.

  

  [C]The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;

  [D]All the Gods who play a part in the

  [F]mythological dramas in all legends 

  from all  la[C]nds were from fair Atlantis.[G]

  [C]Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships 

  to all corners [D]of the earth. 

  [D]On board were the twelve, the poet,

  [F]the physician, the farmer, the scientist,

  the magi[C]cian, and the other 

  so called [G]Gods of our legends.

  [C]Tho' Gods they were and as the elders

  of our [D]time choose to remain blind,

  [D]let us rejoice and let us 

  [F]sing and dance and ring in the new.[C]

  

  Hail Atlantis[G]!

  [C]Way down below the [D]ocean

  [F]where I wanna be[C]

  she may [G]be 

  

  {c:repeat and fade from 'way down'}
