Playing from left to right. The number are which fret you play the note on. O is for OPEN (not fretted)
T _______________________________________________________ G string
A ________7________________7____________7________________ D string
B ________7________________7____________7________________ A string
_O__3___5___O___3___6___5___O___3___5___3___O___O___ E string
If the number are stacked on top of each other that means they are played at the same time. Like a chord. In this case A5 is the chord.
Most pieces of TAB you see will have a LEGENDS segment to show what the little signs mean.
