[Intro]
C Am
They say he was a pillar of industry
C Am
Well, God made some pillars, so some must filler be.
C Am
Like me, a simple servant of the company
C Am
My humble tongue begins his eulogy
[Riff 1]

[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
[Riff 1]

[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.
