Intro -x2-: C Dm F   C Am F

Verse 1:
C                      F
Jed punched him in the parking lot
   C               F
He trembled as his face kissed the floor
C        Am          F
Masculinity seems to hurt a lot
    C                   Am              F
The first time that you feel it in your jaw

Interlude -x2-: C Dm F   C Am F

Verse 2:
C         Dm                   F
Mr. Ball expressed nail polish was for girls
C                     Dm           F
Confessed it right in front of the class
      C            Dm           F
So he stood by the fence as the clouds threw up and wept
C         Dm                F
Trying to chew off both his hands

Pre-Chorus:
Am        G
You don't want to lie
F
No, you don't want to lie anymore
      Am          G        F
About things that make you sad
-nc-
Things that drive you mad

Chorus:
    C   Dm     F
The boy in the black dress
      C                       Am                      F
How I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I wish he was dead
    C   Dm     F
The boy in the black dress
      C                       Am                         F
How I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, tell all of your friends
   Dm           F
To drown him in misery

Verse 3:
C     Am              F
Nikki laughed and ran down the stairs
     C           Dm     F
Told tales about casual xxx
C         Am           F
Waltzing around in her underwear
    C                      Dm     F
She taught him things he'd never forget
      C                           F
Those wholesome things he'd never forget

Pre-Chorus:
Am        G
You don't want to lie
F
No, you don't want to lie anymore
      Am      G       F
About why you feel so bad
Am        G
You don't want to lie
F
No, you don't want to lie anymore
      Am          G        F
About things that make you sad
-nc-
Things that drive you mad

Chorus:
    C   Dm     F
The boy in the black dress
      C                       Am                      F
How I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I wish he was dead
    C   Dm     F
The boy in the black dress
      C                       Am                         F
How I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, tell all of your friends
   Dm           F
To drown him in misery

Interlude -x3-; Am G F

Outro:
   C        Dm           F
He tried to erase him by 24
        C            Dm           F
Because now he can't walk out the door
     C            Dm            F
They all think he lied, but the lord knows he tried
      C                   Dm         F
To be something that they all would adore
     C            Dm
They hate what he is
         F
And they hate what he's not
    C               Dm           F
But hate is nothing new you will see
         C            Dm
From the grave to the cot
      F
How I wish that I forgot
         C          Dm             F
That the boy in the black dress is me

Biography

Yungblud is Dominic Harrison from Doncaster, United Kingdom, an indie rock musician whose debut track, King Charles, a proper 21st century protest song, was released in the Summer of 2017. ‘King Charles’ is two and a half minutes of rage against the system. The tune’s driving back-beat almost makes it resemble a hip-hop crossover.

The name “YUNGBLUD” came from him being the youngest member of his management roster. His manager used to call him “The Youngblood”.
