Maybe start playing chords for a while and go onto tab when you've got a few more skillz, fubbles?

The string notes are E A D G B E. The top string being the lowest E. Once you have that one tuned you can tune all the others using mostly the fifth fret. The first one with the single dot on it. Hold E down on the fifth fret. Then play it plus the A string below it. When they sound the same, hold the A string down and play it with the D string. When they sound the same, tune the G string in. Then go to the fourth fret on the G string, iirc, to tune the B. Go back to the fifth fret on the B to tune the high E and then make sure it's in harmony with the top E string. Then if you're like me, the guitar sounds twice as bad as it did before, buy yourself a little electronic tuning machine and hope for the best
