[Verse 1]
E A E
I caught the Red-Eye at midnight
D E
In the nick of time
E
On the seven fourty seven
D E
And we soon were flying high.
A E
Lord, I had no time to lose
D
Things were getting hot
E A E
Only I know where we stashed the loot
D E
The mob wants to know the spot.
[Interlude]
E
[Pre-Chorus]
E
They got the muscle in from Cleveland
E
The fire-power from Detroit
E
They missed me in New Jersey
E
Though things got pretty tight.
E
Caught my scent in Richmond
E
At the Hotel Savoy
E
But I got out the laundry shute
E
And went to Chicago, Illinois.
[Chorus]
E A
I'm the Last of the Independents
D E
Yeah, they're searching coast to coast
A
Only I know where we hid the loot
D E
Eleven years ago.

[Verse 2]
E A E
I caught the Red-Eye at midnight
D E
In the nick of time
A E
On the seven fourty seven
D E
We soon were high and wide.
A E D E
The moon was laughing at me like it did not have a care
A E
But I just smiled right back and said
D E
'You ain't going anywhere'.
[Interlude]
E
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Well, I want out of the rackets
E
And the numbers game
E
'Cos when you cross the big boss
E
You only got yourself to blame.
E
I won't sing like a canary
E
And I won't go naming names.
E
I don't need police protection
E
I'll play it my own way.
[Chorus]
E A
I'm the Last of the Independents
D E
Well, I play by my own rules.
A
Yes, I'm the Last of the Independents
D E
The Syndicate, well, it don't approve.
A
Well, I'm the Last of the Independents
D E
Well, I got to keep on the move.
A
Well, I'm the Last of the Independents
D E
Well, I got no time to lose
E
Time to lose.
[Interlude]
E
[Outro]
E
Well, I got no time, I got no time to lose
E
Well, I got no time, I got no time to lose
E
Well, I got no time, I got no time to lose
E
Well, I got no time, I got no time to lose
E
