MXtabs.net has a walkthrough on how to read tabs.

Here's the link... Tab help

The numbers are the frets, with 0 being the open note.

G --------
D --------
A --------
E -0-1-2-3

So, the tab ^ is chromatic.

Open E, 1st fret, 2nd fret, 3rd fret.

And of course the obligatory warning. 99% of all tabs on the net are wrong. Some are so wrong they obviously where not listening to the same song Don't ask me why, I don't know

I find that looking up chords is *much* more useful.
