Liverpool Floor Blues

[Intro – slow acoustic guitar strum, soft harmonica wail] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – fingerpicked guitar, gentle foot tap] I walked into a Liverpool pub last night Saw a sight that made my poor heart take flight Stained tile floors where folks come and go Covered in something that the dogs didn't know [Chorus – harmonica riff, steady snare drum] Dog eggs all over the floor, Liverpool town Stepping light, looking down, don't wanna fall down Dog eggs all over the floor, can't ignore Scuff my shoes, sing the blues, Liverpool's raw [Verse 2 – slightly faster guitar, harmonica interlude between lines] The barman sighed, mopped a spot with his rag Said "Son, this mess is just our daily drag The mutts run wild when the sun goes down Leave their mark all over this old town" [Chorus – layered vocals, louder harmonica] Dog eggs all over the floor, Liverpool gray Dodge the spots, hold my tray, try to stay sway Dog eggs all over the floor, what a sight Makes a politician stop and see the light [Bridge – stripped-back guitar, quiet vocals] I've seen wars and marches, speeches and lies But this mess here makes me open my eyes It's the small things that break the grandest plan A dirty floor in a Liverpool land [Solo – bluesy harmonica solo, acoustic guitar backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, raucous harmonica, foot-stomping rhythm] Dog eggs all over the floor, let's raise a glass To the chaos that makes this old town last Dog eggs all over the floor, Liverpool's song Messy and real, where we all belong [Outro – fading guitar, soft harmonica hum] I'll leave this pub with a scuffed-up shoe And a story that's true, through and through
