To learn The Flaming Lips - Fight Test chords with lyrics, - from the "Fight Test" EPdelve into these chords to get the song's feel: A, F#m, E, A, D, E, A, C#m. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 81 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 164. Given the song's key of A, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
