Song:  Atlantis
By:    Donovan

[intro:]  C  D  F  C  G 

[verse: 1 and 2]
C {spoken}
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 beautiful sailors journeyed
       D
to the south and the North Americas with ease
         F                        C   G
in their ships with painted sails

[verse: 3]
               C
To the east, Africa was a neighbor 
           D
Across a short strait of sea miles
F
 The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
          C                  G
Of the Atlantian culture
 
[verse: 4]
                  C
The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world
          D
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas in all legends
     F                                   C   G
from all lands were from fair Atlantis

[verse: 5]
C
Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships
               D
to all corners of the earth, on board were the twelve
     F
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
        C                              G
the magician, and the other so called Gods of our legends

[verse: 6]
      C
Tho' Gods they were and as the elders
       D
of our time choose to remain blind, let us rejoice and let us
F                                   C              G        
sing and dance and ring in the new,     Hail Atlantis!


[chorus:]  
     C               D
Way down below the ocean
F             C           G
where I wanna be  she may be

     C               D
Way down below the ocean
F             C           G
where I wanna be  she may be

     C               D
Way down below the ocean
F             C           G
where I wanna be  she may be

     C               D

where I wanna be  she may be
