I have added what I beleive to be the "solo" A lot of tab usually
scares me ;-), so I have tried to leave it as simple as possible.
Feel free to jazz it up with some hammer-ons and bends.

G
I grew up just west of the tracks
D C
holding me to hold you back, around your door she's calling out my name
G D
She said son won't you go outside, I've got a man coming over tonight
C
the seventh one in seven days
G
So I walk on down to the parking lot,
D C
hang around with all my friends, and roam the streets til dawn breaks again
G D
I come in at five a.m. and she is waiting for me
C
She said where have you been, I said I was out,
G D C
She said you're no good cause you're running without love
CHORUS
G
Cause I'm going straight to hell
D
Just like my momma said
C
I'm going straight to hell
G
I'm going straight to hell
D
Just like my momma said
C
I'm going straight to hell
The black widow and the ladies man
Met down at the laundrmat and tried to make me understand
The neighbors were all in a stir
about what they might have heard
and running down and shouted out it seemed
Next door a girl she lives about the same age as me
and asked me to come upstairs for a see
Just then her mother burst in said your that son of a bitch in the wind
Get out of my house and hit the road
and I kept fallin like a Rolling Stones song

The stars came out and warned me so
As I walked on down the road
Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear
She took my hand as we walked into the sun
A new days promise had begun
We'll make it alone whether you like it or not
I turned around and shouted help me mother
CHORUS
