    C                     C              FA quark is a fundamental constituent of matter

G                        F               CObserved in 1968 through deep electric scatter

   C                              FWe found that protons were more complex than we thought

   G                                     F          CWe thought they were solid particles but they are not

C                                            FProtons in fact are made up of three separate pieces

         G                          F         CIt just gets more confusing as our knowledge increases

     C                                       FAnd 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

           C                                FAnd with leptons and bosons unless something’s amiss

              G                               F            CThey make up everything that we can see and that we know exists

C                                    C              FThings made up of quarks including protons and neutrons

G                                             F                      CAre composite particles that physicist call hadrons

C                                              FMany times those hadrons are theoretically described

G                              F            CBut most exist for only very brief amounts of time

C                                    C                FQuarks have electric charge, colour charge, mass and spin

      G                                     F      CAnd having colour charge means they exist solely in side

C                                           FOther kinds of particles that cannot exist alone

          G                           F               CWhich is why quarks have never been studied on their own

       C                                C           FThese tiny bits of matter are part of almost everything

       G                        F               CThere is no unified theory to make it less confusing

          C                               C              FBut the fact that we’ve identified that they exist at all

     G                         F          CIs so remarkable that I am constantly in awe
