*See Tab 1. (Bottom) + note 1 
    D                            D1 
The Question isn’t whether it’s true, 
     D2                          D3 
The question—"is it working for you?" 
            G 
Marshmallow skies, and custardy pies 
                 D 
And nothings too hard to do. 
D                            D1 
They’re five happy verses or so. 
      D2                      D3 
They told me all I needed to know. 
               G   
Ignore all the rest, Trials and tests, 
                  D 
And threats to my comfort zone. 
(Chorus 1)                 G                            Bb 
		Well I’ve got no time to find out what’s real. 
                  D                        Db  B 
		I stick with what I happen to feel. 
                         G       A               D 
		It feels grand, livin’ in la la land! 
D                            D1 
You can name a blessing yourself, 
D2                          D3 
stake a claim on power and wealth 
                    G 
and strong healthy teeth, a spot at the beach 
                    D 
and romance that’s really swell. 
D                                      D1 
All the saints and martyrs alike,  
          D2                           D3 
Well they would have called a national strike 
              G                             
Demanded less pain, more personal gain, 
               D 
If only they’d known their rights. 
(Chorus 2)             G             Bb 
		Well I take it very personally, 
                       D                       Db, B 
		Yeah I gotta know what’s in it for me. 
                         G                   A        D - 
		Ain’t it grand? when you’re living in La la land! 
-(1st time only) Db, B 
         G                  A         B      E   
Ain’t it grand? When you’re livin’ in La la land. 
             G                                       
I’ve got my Prayer cloth collection in a Jesus Jar. 
             F#                        E 
I’ve got the holy ghost riding in the back of my car. 
              G 
Sometimes he gives a little tickle, I go "hardy har ha" 
          A                   Bb     A      D     
Ain’t it grand? When you’re livin in la la land! 
D              G 
La, la la la,  La la la la. (X 4) 
(See note 1) 
Jesus decal, that’s quite a trick,  
Right above my dash board I stick it, 
A good luck charm, it keeps me from harm, 
and saves me from speeding tickets. 
 
(Chorus 2) 
 
Outro:           D              G 
                 La, la la la,  La la la la. (repeat and fade)
