OK I'm a vocalist who recently took up guitar, and I'm a little stuck on how guitar chords relate to keyboard, and how they work into songwriting. Example: If I'm trying to write a song and the melody/vocal is going to hit a "C" note, does that mean I need a C chord? When do I need to switch to a different chord?

And is there a way to tell what key the song is in without figuring out every individual note in advance on the piano?
