Bb                                                                      Fm7/Bb
     The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song.

Bb                                                               Fm7/Bb
     They serenade the local squire who just came out to mow his lawn.

C#           F#              C#      F#
     Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

C#            F#           C#        Eb
     Charcoal burning everywhere.

F            Bb              Eb  Bb  Cm
     Rows of houses that are all the same

Bb  Cm Gm7 Cm    Gm7 F
And no one seems to  care.


Bb                                                               Fm7/Bb
     See Missus Gray, she's proud today because her roses are in bloom;

Bb                                                            Fm7/Bb
     And Mister Green, he's so serene, he's got a TV in ev'ry room.

C#           F#              C#       F#
     Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

C#           F#            C#         Eb
     Here in status symbol land

F              Bb              Eb   Bb   Cm
     Others complain about how hard life is

        Cm   Gm7  Cm    Gm7  F
And the kids just don't understand.


F             Cm7/F
     Creature comfort goals

F               Cm7/F
     Can only numb my soul

F                 Cm7/F                  F
     They make it hard for me to see.

    Cm7/F
(Ahhh......)


F               Cm7/F
My thoughts all seem to stray

F              Cm7/F
     To places far away

F             Cm7/F           F   Cm7  Bb
     I need a change of scenery

VOCAL AD LIB 3RD VERSE
