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')
