"Am I Losin'"
Lynyrd Skynyrd
>From the acoustic album


 G
I recall when I used to come home, never had a dime

 F                         
 C
Lord, I always had a good time.

 G
I recall drinking wine, with one of my friends

 F                      
 F
Lord, I cain't go back again

                   
 G  
 F                
 C
(chorus): Am I losin' my own way back home
                   
 G  
 F                        
 C
          Am I losin' a good friend that I've known
                   
 G  
 F                           
 C
          Am I losin' won't ya tell me how I've sinned
                   
 G    
 F                 
 C
          Why I'm losin one of my best friends


 G(pick for 1/2 measure)
       I recall this friend of mine, I knew so well

 F                                   
 C
Goes to show oh Lord ya just cain't tell

 G
Now my friend won't talk to me, let me tell ya why

 F                                    
 C
Thinks I changed because of a dollar sign


Chorus

Solo (pick through the chords with feeling)


It's so strange when ya get just a little money
You're so called friends want to act just a little funny
(Yes they'll blame you) But I'm not the one thats here to blame
It's you my friend and it's really a change
It's a shame-ame, such a shame
Am I losin' once again


 G
Why these things happen Lord, I don't understand

 F                          
 C
Lord, they can sure hurt a man

 G
Why won't my friend take me, as I am

 F                                               
 C
'Cause your friends Lord are the most important thing


Chorus

(speak)
Tell me people, what good is that?

(play chords once through)
