Jesus Just Left Chicago
Standard Tuning

You can get the turnaround and solo from other tabs out there. 
I think this gives you a real easy to follow chord arrangement with lyrics.

Play it with two - one doing these chords, turnaround, and solo. And the other guitar doing the basic blues shuffle.

   Main Chords

 | G C       F | 
 E-3--3--|-x--x--|
 B-0--1--|-5--6--|
 G-0--0--|-5--5--|
 D-0--2--|-5--7--|
 A-2--x--|-x--x--|
 E-3--3--|-x--x--|
