Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
F-chord was very tricky for me because you have to put your pointer finger across two strings. Gah. Lol, but it just takes practice and calluses...lots of calluses. (Basically your fingertips will harden up a little so that it won't hurt anymore and you'll be able to play that F with the greatest of ease! =p)
For the Jasey Rae song:
Alright.
First thing's first, the tuning is Drop D, but this person did something weird with it. Basically the letters you see here on the right:
---> E-|---------------|
B-|---------------|
G-|---------------|
C#|--1-x32--6-x32-|
G#|--1------6-----|
D-|--0------5-----|
...those are the strings on the guitar. The sixth string (the thickest one on your guitar) should be tuned to a D. Then the 5th string should be tuned to a G# and etc etc. All you do is just get a tuner, and turn the knobs at the top of your neck. You know, just tune it.
Okay next step...
Those numbers that you see on the tab represent the frets. Frets are spaces in between the metal bars on your guitar.
Alright so in that first phrase, you would place your fingers on the 4th string first fret, then 3rd string first fret, and the 6th string would be left open because it has a zero on it. Still with me?
Good.
So the next step would be to move do the same thing except this time you would move your fingers to 4th string sixth fret, 5th string sixth fret, and then 6th string fifth fret.
Pretty simple once you know right? =]

Oh but might I just also suggest you choose a different tab to learn the song? The one you picked only has three stars next to it. I try to go for ones with five stars, because the higher rated ones are generally more accurate:

Also, you went under Acoustic Version for the "chords" choice, but the person who did it tabbed it out, which should be under the chords category.
Here's one with just the chords rated five stars:

I played it, and it's a lot more accurate than the first tab you chose.
Good luck and have fun! =]
