Verse 1
F
D
Like a lot of kids when I was young,
G
I was buying baseball cards
and bubble gum.
C
A die -hard fan of big league ball,
F
I'd read the stats
and collect them all.
C
D
I didn't put mine between my bicycle spokes,
G
or leaving them at home,
undetended with my folks.
C
I vowed to save them till I got old.
Never tossed, never sold.

Bb
Flippin', tradin', collectin', savin', waitin', hopin',
C
dreamin', prayin' Tops clear, Don Ross Bowman,
big league on display
I'm so glad my mom and dad
F
didn't throw mine away
D
Soon I discovered cars and girls,
G
punk rock and booze,
the whole wide world
C
I was sure on space,
but remember what I said?
F
The cards stayed locked up under my bed
C
D
Late at night on Sunset Strip
G
I'd do my best to be cool and hip
C
I'd go home and let down my guard
Put my guitar away and
Take out all my cards

Flash forward about fifteen years later,
G
I ran into some big stock trader.
C
He said baseball cards
were a great growth item.
F
You're the top notch,
D
I'd like to buy them
Said I couldn't take money from them
G
He said, what about some shares
of a startup I'm in?
C
The stock went through the roof
against all bets
And now I own the New York Mets
