PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY
By: Gerry Goffin & Carole King
Carole King, The Monkees
Key: G

-1  -1  -3  -3    3    3    4    4
The loc-al rock group down the street
-4 -4  -3   6   -5  -5     3    -3
Is try-ing hard to learn their song,
 -1  -1 -3  -3   3   3    4    4
They ser-e-nade the week-end squire
-4   -4   -3   6  -5 -5   3   -3
Who just came out to mow his lawn.

-5 -5  -5  -5*  -5  -3*  5  -5  -2
An-oth-er pleas-ant val-ley Sun-day,
 -5   -5  -5*  -5  -3* 5   -5
Char-coal burn-ing ev-‘ry-where,
 -5  -5  6   -5  -3  -4   4  -4   -3
Rows of hous-es that are all the same,
-4  4  -4   -3   3   -3
And no one seems to care.

 -3   -3   3   -2*  -1
Crea-ture com-fort goals, 
-3  -3  4  -5  4   -3 
Can on-ly numb my soul,
-3 -3 -3   3    -2* -1  1 -1
I need a change of scen-er-y.

-3    -3    -3   3   -2*  -1
My thoughts all seem to stray 
-3  -3  4  -5  4 -3
to plac-es far a-way
-3 -3   4  -4  -3  3  -3
I don’t ev-er want to see
-5 -5  -5  -5*  -5  -3*  5  -5  -2
An-oth-er pleas-ant val-ley Sun-day,
 -5   -5  -5*  -5  -3*  5  -5
Char-coal burn-ing ev-‘ry-where,

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
