Verse 1:
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:
FddGFddG Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday) FddG Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
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:
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
[repeat intro riff w/bass, 2X]
[repeat verse w/wordless vocal]
Chorus 3:
FddGFddG Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday) FddG Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (A) Here in status symbol land
[repeat intro riff w/bass, 2X]
Coda [repeat 7X (until swamped in echo)]:
A [w/intro riff] Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (another Pleasant Valley Sunday)
