[Verse 1]
G D Em G
We grew up together, in New York City
C D G
Oh, how the time has flown by
G G Em G
We were inseparable, closer than brothers
C D G
My best friend Sammy and I.
G D Em G
We’d play by the oak tree, in back of my house
C D G
Tossing a ball to and fro
G G Em G
Each one of us dreaming, pretending to be
C D G
The great Joe DiMaggio.
[Chorus]
C D Em G
One day we each bought a package of Topp’s
C D G
And opened them under the tree
Em 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
Em 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 Em G
When we grew older, and left for Yeshiva
C D G
E change could be seen from the start
G G Em G
Sam loved to study while I loved to daydream
C D G
Slowly we drifted apart.
G D Em G
I watched him grow, in his learning and faith
C D G
With a mixture of envy and pride
G G Em G
I realized with sadness, no more could it be
C D G
My best friend Sammy and I.
[Chorus]
C D Em G
Many years passed, as I watched my own children
C D G
Playing outside in the yard
Em 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
Em 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 Em G
I’d read in the papers, from time to time
C D G
Of events in the life of my friend
G G Em G
He became Rosh Yeshiva, of our old school
C D G
And now was a leader of men.
G D Em G
But there was a fire that ravaged his school
C D G
I knew it just might break his heart
G G Em G
So I reached in my drawer and said my goodbyes
C D G
To the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
[Chorus]
C D Em G
One day my grandson came home from Yeshiva
C D G
Holding a card that was new
Em 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
Em 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.
