Right now I'm trying to teach myself some simple punk songs, but there is one problem. I can't read any form of  tab. Does anyone have any links some good sites where I can learn tablature?

It's quite simple really, each line of tab represents a string on your guitar.

The top line is your 'top' string (the thinnest one) and the bottom line is you bottom string (thickest one).

So it's like this:
e----------------------------- (high e)
B-----------------------------
G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------

Each number is just the fret number you play.  So for instance:

e---0--------------------------
B---0--------------------------
G---1--------------------------
D---2--------------------------
A---2--------------------------
E---0--------------------------

Would be how you represent an E chord in tab.

Simple eh?  Smiley

Yeah. I've got that part. But right now I'm trying to learn Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols. Only found one guide, and it has a bunch of letters instead of numbers.. So I don't get that..

do you mean this bit?

 C   A C     A C       A C FI  Em
|e e e e e e e e | e e e e q   q   |

I think the e's are referring to eighth notes, (as in two notes per beat) and quarter notes (one not per beat.  The C's, A's, Em's etc are just referring to the chords as i'm sure you worked out.
