Tico's entire post should be required reading for all aspiring guitarists, with extra emphasis on his closing remark.

Adding to what he said and coordinating with what Mr. Beaumont said, on the subject of finding a chord: Start with the bass note and the note that the vocalist sings (or melody note) at that point. Try all the major, minor, 7th or minor 7th chords that contain those two notes. Odds are, one of them will be the chord you need.
