This is the way I play Pleasant Valley Sunday by; The Monkees
I think its much less Complicated. The E7 and D7 Chords I use
are played using the C7 finger positon in the 5th fret for the E7
and the 3rd fret for the D7. Strumming with a chopping rhythm.
(Lead Riff played twice)

(Verse 1)
The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their
song. (Play 1/2 of lead riff)
They serenade the local squire who just came out to mow his lawn.
(Play 1/2 of lead riff)
(Chorus 1)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere.
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care.
(Verse 2)
See Missus Gray, she's proud today because her roses are in bloom;
(Play 1/2 of lead riff)
And Mister Green, he's so serene, he's got a TV in ev'ry room.
(Play 1/2 of lead riff)
(Chorus 2)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Others complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand.
(Middle / Bridge)
Creature comfort goals
Can only numb my soul
They make it hard for me to see.
(Ahhh......)
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery
(Play lead riff)
(3RD chorus)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere.
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Song ends repeating 7 Times
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
