Help with Typical Situation

[|UAY| |)(V)|3]

I can play the verse/ intro part but i have trouble with the chorus...dmbtabs.com has it as:
E------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------1----1--
G-0h2--2---0h2--2---0h2--2---0h2---2----0h2--2---0h2--2----x----2--
D-0----0---0----0----0----0---0-----0----2----2----2----2----2----x--
A-x----x---x----x-----x----x---x-----x----0----0----0----0----3----3--
E-3----3---3----3----1----1---1-----1-------------------------------

What i dont understand is the x on 5th string...how is that played?
thanks :)

the 'x' stands for 'mute'. when you play the 3 on the low E string with your ring finger, let the back of that fingertip rest slightly on the 5th string. this way, when you strum the strings, you'll mute the 5th string, and no sound will be produced from that string.

similarily, when you play the 1 on the low E string with your index finger, let the back of the fingertip rest slightly on the 5th string, muting the string.
