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

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