And for example now see this tab :

Tab above is read like this, you play it one by one starting from left to right,  first you press string 1 ( tines string ) in fret 3, then you press string 2 in fret 2, then string 3 in fret 2 , string 5 in 4 fret and then string 2 in 3 fret. just like that

If you see number place in same position it mean you play it in same time just like this chord A and G in tab grafic


  e---0----------------------------  
  B---2----------------------------  
  G---2----------------------------  
  D---2----------------------------  
  A---0----------------------------  
  E--------------------------------  


  e---3----------------------------  
  B---0----------------------------  
  G---0----------------------------  
  D---0----------------------------  
  A---2----------------------------  
  E---3----------------------------  

And if you see tab below it read you play A chord 2 time and then chord G



  e---0------0----------3-------------  
  B---2------2----------0-------------  
  G---2------2----------0-------------  
  D---2------2----------0-------------
