Atlantis

Donovan


 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.
 CG
 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,
 FC
in their ships with painted sails. 
 GC
 To the east Africa was a neighbor across
 D
 a short strait of sea miles.
 F
 The great Egyptian age is but a
 CG
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
 CG
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
 FC
 sing and dance and ring in the new. 
 G
Hail Atlantis!
 CD
 Way down below the ocean
 FC
 where I wanna be 
 G
she may be
(repeat and fade from 'way down')
