Im playing a show this sunday and this song is on the setlist and cant find tabs on it, nor a decent cover. I found one on ultimate guitar but it doesnt make sense to me for some reason >.<

Couple of tricks I've learned about Rock and Roll:
Coming in on the drum intro: The first note the snare drum plays is the and of 3. If you count 8th notes, you can hear him accent beat one on the fourth hit, which is beat one.
Band comes in on the and of one in the 5th bar (four full bars of drum intro).
The Bass line is based off of the Dominant 7 to Root move on beats 1 (Dom 7) and and of one (Root) in every measure.
Intro is a 12 bar Blues
4 Bars - I (A)
2 Bars - IV (D)
2 Bars - I (A)
2 bars - V (E)
2 Bars - I (A)
Verse is a 24 bar blues
8 Bars - I
4 Bars - IV
4 Bars - I
2 Bars - V
2 Bars - IV (usually a stop on 1 of the first measure)
4 Bars - I
Song follows those two forms...
There are some basic blues walk ups that you can improvise on... no one will know if you do them right or wrong.

Relax.
Review the above and spend some time with it, no problem.
As Countrybassist says, it IS an easy song and Ryan speaks the truth about "no one will know if you do them right or wrong" UNLESS you hit blatant wrong notes or wrong timing.
In the guitar solo part, only bassists in the audience will(maybe) look at you. Everyone else will be seeing if the guitarist "does it right" and checking out what the singer does when he ain't singing.
