[Verse 1]
A E F#m A
We grew up together, in New York City
D E A
Oh, how the time has flown by
A A F#m A
We were inseparable, closer than brothers
D E A
My best friend Sammy and I.
A E F#m A
We’d play by the oak tree, in back of my house
D E A
Tossing a ball to and fro
A A F#m A
Each one of us dreaming, pretending to be
D E A
The great Joe DiMaggio.
[Chorus]
D E F#m A
One day we each bought a package of Topp’s
D E A
And opened them under the tree
F#m D E
Look Sam! I’ve got Joe DiMaggio’s card
D A
And he was so jealous of me.
D E D
I lovingly hid it, deep inside my drawer
D E A
Where it would be safe as can be
F#m E D E D
And I vowed I would keep it forever and ever
A E A
It was so precious to me…
A E A
It was so precious to me.
[Verse 2]
A E F#m A
When we grew older, and left for Yeshiva
D E A
F# change could be seen from the start
A A F#m A
Sam loved to study while I loved to daydream
D E A
Slowly we drifted apart.
A E F#m A
I watched him grow, in his learning and faith
D E A
With a mixture of envy and pride
A A F#m A
I realized with sadness, no more could it be
D E A
My best friend Sammy and I.
[Chorus]
D E F#m A
Many years passed, as I watched my own children
D E A
Playing outside in the yard
F#m D E
I remembered the friendship of long, long ago
D A
And the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
D E D
Collectors would come, they would knock at my door
D E A
Letters arrived in the mail
F#m E D E D
We’ll pay half a million, your card it is one of a kind
A E A
I’d answer them, it’s not for sale …
A E A
I’d answer them it’s not for sale.
[Verse 3]
A E F#m A
I’d read in the papers, from time to time
D E A
Of events in the life of my friend
A A F#m A
He became Rosh Yeshiva, of our old school
D E A
And now was a leader of men.
A E F#m A
But there was a fire that ravaged his school
D E A
I knew it just might break his heart
A A F#m A
So I reached in my drawer and said my goodbyes
D E A
To the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
[Chorus]
D E F#m A
One day my grandson came home from Yeshiva
D E A
Holding a card that was new
F#m D E
Look Zaide! Reb Shmuel is one of the Gedolim
D A
And I’m giving his card to you.
D E D
I lovingly hid it deep inside my drawer
D E A
Where it would be safe as can be
F#m E D E D
And I vowed I would keep it forever and ever
A E A
It is so precious to me…
A E A
It is so very precious to me.
