    If you already have the melody, you can plug in any number of chords. For example, if the note C falls in your melody, you can play a CM-Cm-Am-FM-Dm7-D7-B9 or a Bsus2. All of those have C. Now find the chord progression that you like best for the notes in your melody. You can pay attention to the key signature if you want...that would be standard and more typical. But you don't have to. The farther you stray from the key the more bizzare or original it will sound. Then there is the feel of the song. Is it heavy, ballady, top 40, Rock, bluesy (in which case you'll use alot of 7th), acoustic and so on. What is your verse, what is your chorus, do you have a bridge? Basically whats the road map of your song? Then there are breaks, or no breaks. Stop hits, and so on. Have fun...hope i helped.
