[Intro]
| C | D | Fmaj7 | C G |
[Verse]
C
The continent of Atlantis was an island
D
Which lay before the great flood
Fmaj7
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
C
So great an area of land,
G6 [ C ]
That from her western shores
C
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
D
To the South and the North Americas with ease
Fmaj7 C G
In their ships with painted sails
C D
To the east, Africa was her neighbor across a short strait of sea miles
Fmaj7 C G
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the Atlantian culture
C
The Antedeluvian kings colonized the world
D [ Dsus4 D ]
All the gods who play in the mythological dramas
Fmaj7 C G6
And all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis
C D
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the earth
Fmaj7
On board were the twelve: the poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
C G6
The magician, and the other so-called gods of our legends
C D
Though gods they were and, as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Fmaj7
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
C G
Hail, Atlantis!
[Chorus]
C D F Fadd9 C G
Way down, below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be
C D F Fadd9 C G
Way down, below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be
C D F Fadd9 C G
Way down, below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be
[Solo break]
| C | D | F | C G |
[Chorus] with solo parts and ad-lib vocals
C D F Fadd9 C G
Way down, below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be
C D F Fadd9 C G
Way down, below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be
C D F Fadd9 C G
Way down, below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be
