The continent of Atlantis was an island 
D5 
Which lay before the great flood 
       F5 
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. 
C5                                  G5 
So great an area of land, that from her western 
C5 
shores, those beautifulsailors journeyed  
       D5 
to the south and the North Americas with ease, 
         F5                        C5 
in their ships with painted sails. 
G5           C5 
To the east Africa was a neighbor across  
D5 
a short strait of sea miles.

The great Egyptian age is but a  
    C5              G5 
remnant of the Atlantian culture.

The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world; 
D5 
All the Gods who play a part in the 
F5        
mythological dramas in all legends  
            C5                           G5 
from all  lands were from fair Atlantis. 
C5 
Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships  
               D5 
to all corners of the earth.  
D5 
On board were the twelve, the poet, 
F5  
the physician, the farmer, the scientist, 
        C5 
the magician, and the other  
          G5 
so called Gods of our legends. 
C5 
Tho' Gods they were and as the elders 
       D5 
of our time choose to remain blind, 
D5 
let us rejoice and let us  
F5                                  C5   
sing and dance and ring in the new. 
 

             G5 
Hail Atlantis! 
C5                  D5 
Way down below the ocean 
F5               C5 
where I wanna be 
        G5 
she may be
