NOTES:
This song was released by Englebert Humperdinck as a B-side to 
"Please Release Me" and, for some reason, was a bigger hit in NZ 
than the A-side. Definitely music to shear sheep by...

Due to its popularity in NZ, it has also been recorded by several other NZ 
artists including Joe "Fingers" Webster and His River City Mainlanders 
(Kiwi Party CD 1990). It is a staple of Kiwi singalongs everywhere.

If you really want to know how to play it (you completist, you!), here are 
the chords. But I'm sure you could have worked it out for yourself...!


INTRO:  G


VERSE:
  G                               D
I have a band of men and all they do is play for me.
                                         G
They come from miles around to hear them play a melody.
                                      D
Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you,
                                                             G
And if you're with the one you love then this is what you'll do:


CHORUS: 
    G                                D
Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars,
                                         G
And very soon you'll know just where you are.
                                            C
Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars
         G             D7                 G
When you dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars.


VERSE:
Guitars are made for love my band of men will always say
So give each one a pretty girl and they will start to play
Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you 
And if you're with the one you love this is what to do 


CHORUS:
Ooh, let me tell you now dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars 
Hm, come on, everybody, dance dance dance to my ten guitars
