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.
