Atlantis Acordes

	  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')
