 A quark is a fundamental constituent of matter
 
 G                        F               C    
 Observed in 1968 through deep electric scatter
 
    C                              F                    
 We found that protons were more complex than we thought
 
    G                                     F          C 
 We thought they were solid particles but they are not
 
 C                                            F      
 Protons in fact are made up of three separate pieces
 
          G                          F         C       
 It just gets more confusing as our knowledge increases
 
      C                                       F       
 And that is what a quark is; it?s a piece of a proton
 
            G                         F              C   
 And they also make up other things including the neutron

         G                                       F                  C 
 If you don?t know what a quark is it doesn?t matter, you still got em
 
            C                                F       
 And with leptons and bosons unless something?s amiss
 
               G                               F            C   
 They make up everything that we can see and that we know exists
 
 C                                    C              F  
 Things made up of quarks including protons and neutrons
 
 G                                             F    C 
 Are composite particles that physicist call hadrons
 
 C                                              F    
 Many times those hadrons are theoretically described
 
 G                              F            C     
 But most exist for only very brief amounts of time
 
 C                                    C                F  
 Quarks have electric charge, colour charge, mass and spin
 
       G                                     F      C    
 And having colour charge means they exist solely in side
 
 C                                           F   
 Other kinds of particles that cannot exist alone
 
           G                           F               C 
 Which is why quarks have never been studied on their own
 
 C                      F

               G                               F            C   
 They make up everything that we can see and that we know exists
 
        C                                C           F  
 These tiny bits of matter are part of almost everything
 
        G                        F               C   
 There is no unified theory to make it less confusing
 
           C                               C              F 
 But the fact that we?ve identified that they exist at all
 
      G                         F          C 
 Is so remarkable that I am constantly in awe
 
 C                      F

                G                            F              C
