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