you see six lines in the tab. Those are your six strings from the high to the low e:

e
b
g
D
A
E

the numbers written on those lines are the frets where you'll have to put your fingers. Simple as that. so if you see this:

------------
------------
---5--------
---5--------
---3--------

that means you'll have to put your indexfinger on the third fret of the lower string (g) and lay your pinky (or whatever you find comfortable) flat on the fifth fret of the fourth and third string
