We have an official Jailhouse Rock tab made by UG professional guitarists.

This is at least 80% accurate, but I'm not totally sure about the solo. In the
 solo, the part in the second bar where you play a 9th fret and 13th fret note,
 the 13th fret note is actually an 11th fret note bent up to the 13th. If that
 makes sense?

hey all, messed up in the chorus. the third bar goes like this |------------------- |----------------- |------------------- |---------4-4-6-4-- |-2-2-6-6----------- |------------------

I'm not sure but I think the verse is: |-------|-------|-------|-------| |-------|-------|-------|-------| |-7~-8~-|-7~-8~-|-7~-8~-|-7~-8~-| |-7~-8~-|-7~-8~-|-7~-8~-|-7~-8~-| |-5~-6~-|-5~-6~-|-5~-6~-|-5~-6~-| |-------|-------|-------|-------|

It is perfect if you tune down half a step
