"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)
