[Verse 1]
F C Dm F
We grew up together, in New York City
A# C F
Oh, how the time has flown by
F F Dm F
We were inseparable, closer than brothers
A# C F
My best friend Sammy and I.
F C Dm F
We’d play by the oak tree, in back of my house
A# C F
Tossing a ball to and fro
F F Dm F
Each one of us dreaming, pretending to be
A# C F
The great Joe DiMaggio.
[Chorus]
A# C Dm F
One day we each bought a package of Topp’s
A# C F
And opened them under the tree
Dm A# C
Look Sam! I’ve got Joe DiMaggio’s card
A# F
And he was so jealous of me.
A# C A#
I lovingly hid it, deep inside my drawer
A# C F
Where it would be safe as can be
Dm C A# C A#
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 Dm F
When we grew older, and left for Yeshiva
A# C F
D change could be seen from the start
F F Dm F
Sam loved to study while I loved to daydream
A# C F
Slowly we drifted apart.
F C Dm F
I watched him grow, in his learning and faith
A# C F
With a mixture of envy and pride
F F Dm F
I realized with sadness, no more could it be
A# C F
My best friend Sammy and I.
[Chorus]
A# C Dm F
Many years passed, as I watched my own children
A# C F
Playing outside in the yard
Dm A# C
I remembered the friendship of long, long ago
A# F
And the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
A# C A#
Collectors would come, they would knock at my door
A# C F
Letters arrived in the mail
Dm C A# C A#
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 Dm F
I’d read in the papers, from time to time
A# C F
Of events in the life of my friend
F F Dm F
He became Rosh Yeshiva, of our old school
A# C F
And now was a leader of men.
F C Dm F
But there was a fire that ravaged his school
A# C F
I knew it just might break his heart
F F Dm F
So I reached in my drawer and said my goodbyes
A# C F
To the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
[Chorus]
A# C Dm F
One day my grandson came home from Yeshiva
A# C F
Holding a card that was new
Dm A# C
Look Zaide! Reb Shmuel is one of the Gedolim
A# F
And I’m giving his card to you.
A# C A#
I lovingly hid it deep inside my drawer
A# C F
Where it would be safe as can be
Dm C A# C A#
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.
[Outro]
