C7M                           F7M
I went to a concert, to see Nina, Simone
                C7M                     F7M                           C7M
The concert was over, there was still a band playing, the rap up…
                                        F7M
The bongo man played his beat with his hands,

Fm         C#7M           F#             G#
I close my eyes,             and look at him
G#m                F#            E7M     A7M    E7M    F#
Victor should have been a jazz musician       I said to myself,
G#m                F#            E7M
Victor should have been a jazz musician

[Pre-Chorus]
F7M                             Fm7
I looked at his face, and I saw Victor,
              C#7M
looked at his smile, and I saw Victor
F#                  G#
I looked at his hair, and thought

[Chorus]

G#m                F#             E7M     E     G#m
Victor should have been a jazz musician
G#m                F#             E7M     E     C
Victor should have been a jazz musician

And the people dancing on the floor, dancing on the floor, were so high
    C7M                            Fm7            C#7M
You should have seen Victor smile, you should see Victor smile
                                                              E7M
As they danced all the while all around on the floor,  and he laughed

[Chorus]
G#m                F#              E7M
Victor should have been   a jazz musician
    G#m                F#              E7M
Oh, Victor should have been   a jazz musician
       G#m                F#          D#m E7M
He was playing         so nice,the jazz musician

[Bridge]
C
He's living in a fast beat, in a city that's hot
Telling all the Latinos and Puerto Ricans, Victor seems happy, but doesn't even know himself
He's gotta look inside to know, in his first life...

[Chorus]
G#m                   F#              E7M
   Victor               was  a jazz musician  (gotta look inside to...)
G#m                   F#              E7M
                    he  was  a jazz musician
   G#m                F#              E7M
In his first life,  he  was  a jazz         musician,

    G#m    F#      E7M      C#7M
Victor       was   a jazz musician
    G#m                    F#                  E7M
Somewhere Victor plays his music, he loves his music
    G#m                    F#                  E7M
Somewhere Victor loves his music, he plays his music
    G#m                    F#                  E7M
Somewhere,                 Victor is a jazz musician
    G#m
