When reading tabs, I am seriously confused when I see chord charts that show more than 4 finger positions on the fret board. What does this mean and how is this possible?

Those are generally barre chords. You lay your index finger across several strings and make the rest of the chord with your remaining three fingers.
There are a million recommendations and threads on here about barre chords. It would probably be helpful for you to do a topic search on them. Also, there are some Youtube videos giving instruction on barre chords.

Okay, so I was looking at Ring Of Fire, and I found the Intro tab, but it's kind of odd. Here it is:
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------0-----------------------------|
|---7-7-7-7-7-7 ---9-----7----------4-4-4-4-4-4--5--2-4--|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------0------------------------|
|--0-7-5-4----0-4-5-----7-7-7-7-7-7----9-----7--------0--4-4-4-4-4-4--5-2-4--|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Isn't that tab laying out the melody line for the Ring of Fire: "Love is burning flame"? I think you can pick it according to the rhythm that Johnny Cash sings it.

Looks like and sounds like the melody played on the open e string. Why? I'm not sure maybe our theory Guru's can answer.

Yes it is laying out the melody line, but it starts out as Love Is A Burning Thing. You were very close on that. Thanks for your help!
