    In general, each of the horizontal lines represents each of the six strings on your guitar, and time goes from left to right. The numbers on a string indicate what fret on that string to place your finger and play the note. So three numbers vertically at the same time indicate a chord.

    Actually I advise you to download Guitar Pro from this site: http://www.guitar-pro.com/

    This nifty util will make you able to write your own tabs, test them, share them, print them nicer than in ASCII and what's most important - hear them.
    My bro uses it.

    I HATE Blink182, sound like girls and only ever sing about their girlfriends.

    And also about broken families, and about corrupt world and unfairness, and about suicide. As for girls, love plays a major part in music.
