[Verse 1]
  G               D
I catch the early shoppers train
        C       D
Leaves Leeds at half past eight
G  D  Am  C
     G             D
With women who are Harrods bound
     C           D
From headscarfed Harrogate
G  D  Am  C
  Em        D/F#       G
I change my clothes at Kings Cross
     C          D
From bland to vivid bait
              G    D Am      C       G  D  C  D
I'm a working mother earning jam for tea

[Verse 2]
     G                D
In a hotel called the Harlequin

With carpets that are bald
G  D  Am  C
   G            D
I offer several services
   C            D
At least that's what they're called
G  D  Am  C
            Em     D/F# G
But there's no real variation
   C         D
Of fifteen minute maul
              G    D Am     C      G  D  C  D
I'm a working mother hoping to get home

[Chorus]
Em D/F#    G      C      G
   Working mother under cover
 C       D           Em
Another violent kiss
D/F#    G      C      G
Working mother pop-up lover
   C       D
Am I worth more than this?
Oh tell me now

[Verse 3]
   G                 D
My husband drove his HGV
C            D
Down through France and Spain
G  D  Am  C
     G             D
He'd always add 3 extra days
   C               D
So he could go and see Elaine
G  D  Am  C
        Em    D/F# G
They're now in Alicante
         C       D
Where it doesn't even rain
              G    D Am    C        G  D  C  D
I'm a working mother going home for tea

[Chorus]
Em D/F#    G      C      G
   Working mother under cover
 C       D           Em
Another violent kiss
D/F#    G      C      G
Working mother pop-up lover
   C       D
Am I worth more than this?
Oh tell me now

G  D  Am  C
G                   D
Wayne's three years older
       C             D
And he wants his own ice skating rink
G  D  Am  C
                G     D
One day they'll know
         C               D
By which time I could be dead from the drink
G  D  Am  C
           G   D  C        D               G  D  Am  C
They're my babies and they need an earning mother

[Chorus]
Em D/F#    G      C      G
   Working mother under cover
 C       D           Em
Another violent kiss
D/F#    G      C      G
Working mother pop-up lover
   C       D
Am I worth more than this?
