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