TAB question

Usually I read this convention to mean the note has already been played in a previous bar but is continued to sustain.

But TAB is not really standardized...
 
I'd have to see in context, with the preceding measure. Knowing the song would help too.
If I were to guess, they are sustained notes carried over from the previous chord change.
 
Or a ghost note(s). Played very softly. But that's kind of rare for a chord in tab.
