Calvin. No question is dumb when you trying to learn something.

In regards to your question about chords or single notes used play songs. The melody of the song can be expressed musically in different ways.

The melody can be played using just single notes, or it can be played using single notes with chords added in places where the melody drops out or where the melody is holding on a long note. Thirdly the melody can be played as a single note voiced above the chords being played at the same time.

You can use a combination of any of the above to express the melody of a song. Any help?
