A "blues scale" is a minor pentatonic scale with the additional sharped 4th/flatted fifth. Blues scales can start on any note but an example of the C minor blues scale is:

C, E♭, F, G♭, G, B♭, and C.

The structure of the scale is root (C), flatted 3rd (E♭), natural 4th (F), flatted 5th (G♭), natural 5th (G♮), flatted 7th (B♭) and back to the root again.

If you mean the notes in a blues scale, it's C Eb F F# G Bb C

If you're talking about a blues progression, the most common one is I IV I V I.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean.
