The Last Of The Independents

E

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.

E

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.

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.

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'.

E

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.

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.

E

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
