Chords

Please excuse my lack of musical training, but does anyone know what a 5 after a chord means (like B5)? Google has been no help.  Chord charts all seem to have 6 and 7, but never 5. Is it just a guitar thing? How would I play it on the piano?

Power chord. Means you only play the root and the 5th.

Ah okay, I suspected that, but when I tried it, it sounded wrong so I scrapped the idea. I think it was just bad transcribing. Thanks for explaining!
