Tab

The strings from top to bottom or highest (thinnest) to lowest (widest)

 G -------------------------------------
 D -------------------------------------
 A -------------------------------------
 E -------------------------------------
 B -------------------------------------

The numbers indicate the fret that you play -- 0 equals open string

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------0--1---3--------------------------------------------------------
-1--3--------------------------------------------------------------------
