Chords for Kimbra Covers Nina Simone's "Plain Gold Ring" LIVE

Hi this is Kimbra and you're watching Billboard. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I was aware of Nina Simone [Ab] as a kid growing up
because I was in this jazz choir at school
and we used to do these kind of medleys of different jazz songs
and I remember a few of Nina Simone's songs were in [E] there.
The Plain Gold Ring I'd never heard before
and it was the producer [Ab] Francois Titez who introduced me to the [E] song.
It moved me so much, it [E] was so haunting
and I [G] just, yeah, felt like it really deserved a place on the album.
[E] It's a song that means a lot to me
and it's kind of grown with me and come to [G] me more and more
as I've, you know, [G] developed.

[Ab] _ _ _ _ Someone [E] put my [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ [Am] gold on [D] his hand
[Eb] Was a [Am] plain _ _ _ _ gold ring
[D] _ Oh love, Oh [Am] _ _

_ _ _ It _ was where [A] _ _ everyone [E] _
could [A] see.

_ _ _ _ _ _ Nina Simone was a really kind of fearless performer.
She just put everything out there.
And the song, what struck me about it was [Ab] actually its simplicity.
All it is [B] is this just_
_ [Am] like bassline, [E] piano part, and her voice over the top of it.
Nothing really moves all that much.
There's no real addition to the arrangement.
And the melody itself is just so kind of almost like a [A] lullaby.
And because a lot of my melodies are usually, they dart all [Gm] over the place,
I think I was really drawn in by just [D] the simplicity of this song.
And yeah, [A] lyrically it's quite cold, you know, but also kind of heart-breaking.
But it's done in a really subtle way.
[E] That's always my favorite kind of ballad, you know,
is when you kind of needed to dig a little bit
to [Am] recognize the real emotion sitting under the whole song.
