Hi Debbie,

There are many versions -- the most basic would be (In key of C)

C    F   C   C 
F     F   C   C
G(7)F  C  G(7)

These chords might be all simple major chords or all seventh chords
(dominant, minor7 or even MA7) or a mixture of the two with the G chords
most often being G7s. 

That is three four bar lines -- vocalists often repeat the same words on
each of the first two lines of each chorus add a following line that differs.

Often there is a turnaround of some kind at the end so that the last two
bars might be (still in the key of C)

C A7|D7 G7 

C Ami7|Dmi7 G7

These two  turnarounds have movement around the cycle of fifths to get back
to the first bar C of the next chorus. 

C Ami7|Abmi7 G7

C Eb7 D7 Db7

These last two are using chord substitutes (this is called tritone
substition) where a seventh chord three tones (6 semitones) away will
function as a substitute for another seventh chord.

This and other sorts of substition can be applied all the way through a
blues so that you might get two or even four different chords to the bar in
a slow jazz blues -- the V chord (G7) in the 9th bar is pretty essential to
the blues though.

Now you just gotta pay your dues ;-)

Regards,
M

Typing "12 bar blues" in Google's search engine yielded a.o. the 
following results:

I suppose you could have used a search engine yourself, right?

Well if it's a big town and you can hold your booze can just play one 
chord of any variety but do it in 12 bars.  By the twelfth one you 
will be blue if you are a sad drunk.
