Atlantis

	C	D
	The continent of Atlantis was an island	which lay before the great flood

	F
In the	area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

	C	G	C
	So great an area of land, that from	her western	shores, those beautiful sailors

	D
journeyed to the	south and the North Americas with ease,

	F	C
in their	ships with painted sails.

	G	C	D
	To the east	Africa was a neighbor across	a short strait of sea miles.

	F	C	G
	The great Egyptian age is but a rem	nant of the At	lantian culture.

	C
	The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;

	D	Fmaj7
	All the Gods who play a part in the	mythological dramas in all legends

	C	G
from all	lands were from fair Atlantis.

	C	D
	Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships to all corners	of the earth.

	D	Fmaj7
	On board were the twelve, the poet,	the physician, the farmer, the scientist,

	C	G
the magi	cian, and the other so called	Gods of our legends.

	C
	Tho' Gods they were!

	D
And as the elders of our	time choose to remain blind,

	D	Fmaj7	C
	let us rejoice and let us	sing and dance and ring in the news.

	G
Hail Atlantis	!
