The promised land ?!

[Mr z]

Hello folks, Im trying to learn the tune the promised land written by chuck berry, but as the swamp Cajun version as performed by johnny Allen, with the famous solo.
I have a ancient 12bass piece that sounds nice. I can't find any sheet music about or online that's suitable, or any video, and I'm struggling I'm afraid! Can any one help with some pointers pleasw :hb :hb

Thanks jarvo, that's really good of you, I hadn't realised that the wabash c was the same, what do you think I should do with the bass side of things?? I am now into my 3rd month of learning the ac and can knock out a wicked can can but all the other learning material I have been learning is designed for kiddies, it's time to develop some rock and roll!
