As recorded by Rory Gallagher (From the 1978 Album PHOTO-FINISH) [Intro] E [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.
[Guitar Solo] B E [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
