Key: :[A#] (w: Gerry Goffin, Carole King)
INTRO: [*R1 x2]
VERSE 1:
[A#] The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their
[G#/A# *R1] song
[A#] They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his
[G#/A# *R1] lawn
CHORUS 1:
[C#] Another
[F#] pleasant valley
[C#] Sunday
[F#] (Sunday)
[C#] Charcoal
[F#] burning every-
[C#]-where
[D#]
[F7] Rows of
[A#] houses that are
[D#] all
[A#] the
[F7] same
And
[Cm] no-
[Gm]-one
[D#] seems
[A#] to
[F7] care
VERSE 2:
[A#] See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in
[G#/A# *R1] bloom
[A#] And Mr. Green, he's so serene
He's got a TV in every
[G#/A# *R1] room
CHORUS 2:
[C#] Another
[F#] pleasant valley
[C#] Sunday
[F#] (Sunday)
[C#] Here in
[F#] status symbol
[C#] land
[D#]
[F7] Mothers com-
[A#]-plain about how
[D#] hard
[A#] life
[F7] is
And the
[Cm] kids
[Gm] just
[D#] don't
[A#] under-
[F7]-stand
BRIDGE:
[F7] 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, I need a change of scenery
