Watching The Planets chords by The Flaming Lips

Guitar chords with lyrics

The Flaming Lips
Watching the Planets
Embryonic

Basically, the chord progression is the same throughout the song (Dm Gm A Dm), with the exception
of the bridge. Sometimes, they play an A# between the A and Dm, but only occasionally.
Also, notice how the song has (nearly) the same chord progression as "I Can Be a Frog", another
song from Embryonic that features Karen O.
