Atlantis

Donovan Leitch

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

Tho' 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

(repeat and fade from 'way down')
