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                            C
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
                                               D
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South

And the North Americas with ease
F                                 C  G
In their ships with painted sails.
             C
To the east, Africa was a neighbor,
           D                       D F
Across a short strait of sea miles.

The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
        C                G
Of the Atlantian culture.
           C
The antediluvian kings colonized the world;
         D 
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
    D                    F                             C  G
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
  C                                                               D
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.

On board were the Twelve:
     F                                                   C
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician,
                         G
And the other so-called Gods of our legends,
  C
Though Gods they were.
                                 D
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind,
                       F                                     C
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new . . .
           G
Hail Atlantis!

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

    C              D      F             C           G

    C              D      F             C           G

    C              D      F             C           G

Sung with chords C D F C G in background:

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl;
Girl, I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah,
I want to see you some day, oh,
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you;
My antediluvian baby—gotta tell me where she gone
I want to see you some day,
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah;
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah . . .
