[Intro]

[Verse]
C The continent of Atlantis was an island
D Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now Fmaj7call the Atlantic Ocean
C So great an area of land,
G6 [ C ]
That from her western shores
C Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the SouthD and the North Americas with ease
In their Fmaj7ships with painted sails C G
To the east, CAfrica was her neighbor across a Dshort strait of sea miles
Fmaj7 The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the CAtlantian culture G
The AntedeCluvian kings colonized the world
D [ Dsus4 D ]
All the gods who play in the mythological dramas
And all legends from all Fmaj7lands were from fair Atlantis C G6
C Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Dearth
On board were the twelve: the Fmaj7poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The Cmagician, and the other so-called G6gods of our legends
CThough gods they were and, as the elders of our time Dchoose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us Fmaj7sing and dance and ring in the new
C Hail, AGtlantis!
[Chorus]
Way Cdown, below the Docean, FwheFadd9re I want to Cbe, she may Gbe
Way Cdown, below the Docean, FwheFadd9re I want to Cbe, she may Gbe
Way Cdown, below the Docean, FwheFadd9re I want to Cbe, she may Gbe
[Solo break]

[Chorus] with solo parts and ad-lib vocals
Way Cdown, below the Docean, FwheFadd9re I want to Cbe, she may Gbe
Way Cdown, below the Docean, FwheFadd9re I want to Cbe, she may Gbe
Way Cdown, below the Docean, FwheFadd9re I want to Cbe, she may Gbe
