"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 friendsG(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)

| This is by far my favorite Skynyrd song. It is a song about Ronnies struggle with fame and how he can't understand why people think he has changed when he really hasn't at all. Staying true to your roots was always Skynyrds message and this song is no exception. You can almost feel Ronnie's pain with every verse and his search for why things are they way they are. If anyone gets a chance check out Zakk Wylde's "The Color Green" and tell me this is not a homage to this song. | |
