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:
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
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:
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
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)
