I think you are confusing two things here. A scale is a series of single notes whereas a chord is two or more notes played at the same time.
The simplest major scale (i.e. no sharps or flats) is C major...C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
A G major scale would be...G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, G
The tonic solfa names of the major scale are:
Doh, ray, me, fah, soh, lah, te, doh. These do not alter no matter what key you are in.
A major chord is constructed from the first, third and fifth notes of the scale from which the chord is named after.
Therefore a C major chord is C, E, G, whereas a G major chord is G, B, D.
By the way, there is no 'H' in music.

I don't think anyone yet has completely understood what you're asking. Any chord can be major, but in relation to the scales, and assuming this is what you need, a C scale would be:
DO = C
RE = D
MI = E
FA = F
SO = G
LA = A
TI = B
DO = C

Of these, only three of the chords are major: DO (C), FA (F), and SO (G). RE (D), MI (E) and LA (A) are minor and TI (B) is diminished. This is true in any key.

By the way, it's "Every Good Boy Does Fine" (look it up!) and it refers to the lines (as opposed to the spaces) of a music staff.

Just can't trust EVERYTHING you read, can you?

C = doh
D = re

F = fa
G = soh
A = la
B = si (or ti)

Hope this is what you were looking for.
