GUEST,Jawbone Help: Beginners Mandolin (16) Beginners Mandolin 23 Aug 01

Hi guys, I have just bought a mandolin, (having no idea how to play it!), but I am having great trouble tuning the thing. Are the strings E-A-D-G ? and do the frets work the same as a guitar, i.e. 5th fret on E = A, 5th on A = D, 5th on D = G? plus it seems to go out of tune very easily; and does anyone know any chord shapes that actually sound right!? or is it just that the instrument is out of tune? thanks for you help ; Jawbone
