Capo 3



    C                     C              F
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

          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
