The letters and numbers appearing above guitar music indicate the chords to be played. The letters indicate the root of the chord (for example - G means a G major chord, but a G/B would be asking you to play a G major chord, but have B as the lowest note heard). The numbers indicate variants on a chord, such as a suspension to be resolved, or a chord with an added 7th tone (for example, G7 would be a G chord, but add in the seventh note above, an F for a bit more interest).
