Nearly every melody line has underlying harmonies (chord) which reflect the notes in each bar. E.g., in a bar of C-E-F-G, there are notes which make Cmaj.Cmaj., so that chord will fit in that bar.

In a bar with, for example, an F and A, this will give you more scope - Fmaj., Dmin.Dm, G9 come to mind.

Often there's a note which won't fit a chord, and if it's on a weak part of the bar, it won't count towards that chord. Weaker parts could be 2nd or last beat, or maybe the 'and' between beats. 1st and 3rd (in 4/4) are places to look for components of a chord. When you move out of key, as in C - G♭, there are no common notes, so either change chord within the bar, or possibly use a B♭ note, which could fit both C7 and G♭

Really need that sample.
