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')
