Excellent beginner music theory there!

To explain how to read these chord charts (which I'm guessing is what you're trying to do?)  Here's an example:

http://www.chordimages.com/ramimages/i5 … 2220_1.png
This is an A chord and the image represents the neck of the guitar.  The top most horizontal line is the nut, the next one is the first fret, the one below that is the second fret (which is where your fingers are going to be for this chord).  The vertical lines indicate the strings on your guitar.  The one on the far left is your Low E string (the lowest sound, thickest string) and the vertical line on the far right is your High E string (the highest sound, thinnest string).  The X on the top indicates that you do NOT play that string when you strum out this chord.  The 0 on the top indicates that you do not fret that string at all. 

In tab, the A chord would look like this:
|----0----|
|----2----|  T
|----2----|  A
|----2----|  B
|---------|

or there might be an X on the last line (low E string is not played)

here's a quick lesson on this particular chord:  http://justinguitar.com/en/BC-112-A-chord.php

So... Chords along with their diagrams are also very similar to tab, it represents the strings on the guitar and "shows" you where to put your fingers ... if you don't have the diagram, then you'll want to use that chart Jerome linked to as a reference to look up those chords you need!    Have fun!
