Chords for Gabi Wilson (H.E.R.) age 10 on the Today Show performing Alicia Keys

And we've got an amazing talent with us this morning, but Gabby Wilson's joining us.
Hi, Gabby.
Hi.
We got to meet her, actually, a little while ago.
She was on with Meredith.
She plays the piano, the drums, the bass guitar, and has the rich, soulful voice of a singer
three times her age.
That's right.
And you write poetry?
Yes, I have a poetry book.
And it's published.
Yes.
Wow.
And you're a straight-A student, [E] right?
Yes.
And you learned to play because your dad has a band.
Right.
And he just does for fun.
And then you came out and started singing?
Right.
How did your parents react?
_ Well, they were really surprised, and they thought we should start _ _ _ _ _ getting me into it
so I can_
[N] Where did you get this voice?
_ _ _ _ It just came out of nowhere, I guess.
_ Can I just ask for Kenny?
Oh, there you are.
Hey, these are Gabby's parents, Kenny and Agnes, right?
_ And so actually your real job is_
I'm an iron worker, union iron worker.
I've been for 17 years, and music's just been a hobby.
And you're a student?
I'm a student.
I finish my nursing.
Your daughter starts singing when you're six years old when this happened?
Yes.
What did you think?
We thought, wow, [Ab] get up on stage with us and do some [Gb] shows and [N] see what happens.
And she'd never feel no nervous or anything, so_
That's what I asked her earlier.
That's what I asked her. Crazy how.
Now, where did you get this confidence? _
_ Well, I've always been really confident about my singing and performing.
My goodness.
I know that your friends call you the little Alicia Keys, and that's _ setting the bar up here.
So how is that, knowing that people are already_
You're only 10 years old, and people are comparing you to one of the greatest female singers
of all time.
It feels really good.
My friends are really supportive.
I love you.
Oh, I love you.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my God.
What [Eb] a_
Oh, my God.
You did such a good job.
Can I say, raising this girl, because my [G] gosh, she's got some confidence.
She does.
We love you.
Can we hear her sing in a moment?
Yeah, [N] yeah, yeah.
Can we hear her sing now?
Right.
She's going to sing a song by Alicia Keys.
Okay.
We're going to get out of the way.
Take it away.
Go, Gabby Wilson.
I love you.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] That was fantastic!
_ Wow!
Wow!
Thank you so much.
You've got quite an audience by the way, you've got a lot of fans already right outside on
the plaza there.
Yeah, you can hear the people out there waiting for you.
They were glued to the window watching you perform.
Anyway, but mom and dad especially, and I know you guys are mouthing the words and so
much support from you.
And what do you want to do when you grow up?
I want to be a singer, a songwriter, and a musician, and I want to also be a dentist
[G] because I think taking care of teeth is important.
Good!
Yes!
Yes, because you know what, you've got to keep that smile.
And honey girl, I think you can be anything you want.
Thank you.
So don't give up your dreams.
Well done!
Yeah, so very nice.
We're cheering you.
[N] Be safe, be good.
