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