atlantis chords
donovan 1968

spoken with chords C D F C G in background :

the continent of atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the atlantic ocean .
so great an area of land , that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed to the south
and the north americas with ease
in their ships with painted sails .
to the east , africa was a neighbor ,
across a short strait of sea miles .

the great egyptian age is but a remnant
of the atlantian culture .
the antediluvian kings colonized the world;
all the gods who play in the mythological dramas
in all legends from all lands were from fair atlantis .

knowing her fate , atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the earth .
on board were the twelve :
the poet , the physician , the farmer , the scientist , the magician ,
and the other so – called gods of our legends ,
though gods they were .
and as the elders of our time choose to remain blind ,
let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new . . .
hail atlantis!
