Verse 1:
A
The local rock group down the street
G/A [w/intro riff]
Is trying hard to learn their song

They serenade the weekend squire
G/A [w/intro riff]
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Chorus 1:
C FaddG C FaddG
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
C FaddG C D
Charcoal burning everywhere
E7 A D A E7
Rows of houses that are all the same
Bm F#m D A E7
And no-one seems to care
Verse 2:
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green, he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Chorus 2:
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Bridge:
E7
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
(A)
I need a change of scenery
