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

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

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
