Pleasant Valley Sunday Lyrics
by The Monkees
(Gerry Goffin - Carole King)
Intro:
two electric guitars ; acoustic guitar enters 2nd time:
bass tacet during intro
v v v v v v v v
Verse 1:
The local rock group down the street
w/intro riff
Is trying hard to learn their song
They serenade the weekend squire
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
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
Here in status symbol land
repeat intro riff w/bass, 2X
repeat 7X (until swamped in echo)
Coda :
w/intro riff
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (another Pleasant Valley Sunday)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
