Verse 1:
C              Am
When only a small boy with no mother’s love
C                    Am
And no answers from the Great Dancer up above
C                   Am
And no firm father to guide him
C                      Am
He watched a wild horse, and longed to ride him
F               G
And 🏷Legend has it that on that day
F                    G
He planted two tiny feet in that wild horse’s way
F                          G
That mighty stallion with a deathly eye
F                         G
The stars looked down to watch a child die
C                    Am
But as the horse reared up to crush his tiny bones
C                  Am
Its heart grew cold, cold as river stones
C                        Am
For it saw the steel in the soul of the child
C                        Am
And knew that no more would it run free and wild
F               G
And so our hero tamed his untamable horse
F                   G
That was the beginning of his winning course
F                         G
And from that moment ‘til the end of his days
F                           G
The people of this land would hear him say

Chorus:
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people to make a world
          F                   C
It takes all kinds of people to make a world
         C                         Am
From the farmer in the field to the spaceman in space
      F                    C
Everybody has a reason, a purpose and place

Verse 2:
C                    Am
Well, he was ten he started his first company
C                    Am
Less than five feet tall, but already somebody
C                    Am
By the time he was sixteen he owned a warehouse block
C                    Am
Where he traded in trailers, trucks, lights and livestock
F               G
Then came that famous day you all know
F               G
He went to buy a hacienda down in Mexico
F               G
Fell in love with a señora, begged her to get engaged
F               G
The main problem was, she was three times his age
C                    Am
The other problem was, she was already hitched
C                    Am
To a real hijo de puta, a sonofabitch
C                    Am
They agreed to duel in the abandoned aeropuerto
C                    Am
The husband said “you can have her over mi cuerpo muerto”
F               G
Our hero said “Sí - esto no es muy difícil”
F               G
Then he shot so fast it looked like his hands were holding still
F               G
With his dying eyes the husband looked up to see the circling birds
F               G
And then he heard those famous words:

Chorus:
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people to make a world
          F                   C
It takes all kinds of people to make a world
         C                         Am
From the farmer in the field to the spaceman in space
      F                    C
Everybody has a reason, a purpose and place

Verse 3:
C                    Am
You know the story as well as I do
C                    Am
But I’ll fill in the blanks now - at least I’ll try to
C                    Am
He returned to his homeland with his aged bride
C                    Am
Four hundred labourers at his side
F               G
He said “I’ll seize the knocking fists of opportunity and history
F               G
I shall build an empire of diligence and industry
F               G
Shaped like a pyramid, all golden, aglow:
F               G
With my office at the apex and the others below!”
C                    Am
We all worked together to build his dream
C                    Am
In the swelter of the smelter and the sweat of the steam
C                    Am
Though many hands cramped and many muscles ached
C                    Am
Oh how we laughed on our coffee breaks
F               G
For we dreamed of the day when the work would be done
F               G
And at last it seemed that great day had come
F               G
The pyramid glistened like a golden fire
F               G
But he said “No, it’s not high enough, it needs to be higher!”

Chorus:
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people to make a world
          F                   C
It takes all kinds of people to make a world
         C                         Am
From the farmer in the field to the spaceman in space
      F                    C
Everybody has a reason, a purpose and place

Verse 4:
C                    Am
Now it’s true that some grumbled and some were sure
C                    Am
Those famous words were simply a non-sequitur
C                    Am
But with a soft sigh we went back to work for many years
C                    Am
Our families and our fiancés collected their heartbroken tears
F               G
‘Til one day the unthinkable happened:
F               G
Young José was high up on the scaffold
F               G
He screamed like a baby bird abandoned in a tree:
F               G
“¡Dios mío, muchachos, you must come and see!”
C                    Am
There under the cyclops eye of the endless sun
C                    Am
We climbed the scaffolding one by trembling one
C                    Am
Truly it was an evil sight to behold:
C                    Am
There was our jefe, imprisoned in gold.
F               G
Murdered with molten metal, now pinned there gruesomely
F               G
With only God’s unblinking eye and of course us to see
F               G
We had to leave his body to the hungry birds
F               G
But deep in the pyramid’s face we carved these words:

Chorus 2:
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people (All kinds of people)
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people (All kinds of people)
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people (All kinds of people)
         C                   Am
It takes all kinds of people to make a world

Outro:
         C                   Am
They say he was a pillar of industry
         C                   Am
Well, God made some pillars, so some must filler be.
