- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G
When a number is on one of the lines you put your finger on that fret.

- - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - C
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - E

When there is a 1 on the top line you put you finger on the very first fret of the A string and pluck it. Play the numbers left to right.
When there are numbers right on top of each other you play them at the exact same time.
