I ran across this nicely composed article on eHow which explains the principles of piano tabs and how they are interpreted. If you're new to piano, read through and practice the steps and you'll no doubt be amazed by the simplicity.

This is no substitute for real music notation, but it's a great stepping stone if you're more comfortable with just letters/numbers at first.
