[G]I have a band of men and all they [D7]do is play for me
they came from miles around to hear [G]them play their melodies
beneath the stars my ten guitars will [D7]play a song for you
and if you’re with the one you love this is what you [G]do


Oh oh dance, dance, to my ten gui[D7]tars
and very soon you’ll know just where you [G]are
through the eyes of love you’ll [G7]see a thousand [C]stars[Am]
[G]when you dance, dance, [D7]dance to my ten gui[G]tars


[G]Guitars were made for love my band of [D7]men will always say
so give them all a pretty girl and they [G]will start to play
beneath the stars my ten guitars will [D7]play a song for you
and if you’re with the one you love this is what you [G]do


Oh oh dance, dance, to my ten gui[D7]tars
and very soon you’ll know just where you [G]are
through the eyes of love you’ll [G7]see a thousand [C]stars[Am]
