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')
