12 bar blues is a common form for about a squillion blues, jazz and rock songs.
The most basic form would be something like this (shown in C)
C for 4 bars
F for 2 bars
C for 2 bars
G for 1
F for 1
C for 1
G for 1
This is only one way to play through the progression. A jazz-blues is a little different, and generally has more chords put in it.
