[Verse 1]
 
     A                                                                  G
     The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song
    (Play 1/2 of lead riff)
     A                                                           G
     They serenade the local squire who just came out to mow his lawn
    (Play 1/2 of lead riff)
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
     C       F               C     F
     Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
     C        F             C
     Charcoal burning everywhere
     E       A               D   A   E
     Rows of houses that are all the same
     E   Bm E   D     A  E
     And no one seems to care
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     A                                                           G
     See Missus Gray, she's proud today because her roses are in bloom;
    (Play 1/2 of lead riff)
       A                                                        G
     And Mister Green, he's so serene, he's got a TV in ev'ry room
    (Play 1/2 of lead riff)
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     C       F               C     F
     Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
     C       F             C
     Here in status symbol land
     E          A              D    A    E
     Others complain about how hard life is
     E       Bm   E    D     A        E
     And the kids just don't understand
 
 
[Bridge]
 
     E7
     Creature comfort goals
     E7
     Can only numb my soul
     E7
     They make it hard for me to see
     E7
    (Ahhh......)
     E7
     My thoughts all seem to stray
     E7
     To places far away
     E7                      E7  D7
     I need a change of scenery
 
    (Play lead riff)
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
     C       F               C     F
     Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
     C        F            C
     Charcoal burning everywhere
     F       Bb              F     Bb
     Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
     F       Bb            F      A
     Here in status symbol land

No credit to who wrote this song...Geoffrey Goffin and Carole King...

Weekend squire, not “local squire.”
