Verse 1:

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

[repeat intro riff w/bass, 2X]

[repeat verse w/wordless vocal]

C      FaddG            C      FaddG

Charcoal burning everywhere
F       Bb              F     Bb
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
F       Bb            F       (A)
Here in status symbol land
