Thats chords, down the very bottom of the page it will say e and then what you strum same with the rest. So just play the different chords down the bottom, in the order that they are given from the top.

With tabs, the strumming and timing is from the song. Listen to the song to get it.

Strum Each chord (Em, G, C, G...) right as the above word is sounded out. To capo to third fret means to place a capo onto the third fret and play the chords as if the capo'd fret is '0,' next being '1.'
