I am looking for a diagram that lists all the chords that go together (and I don't mean all the G chords and all the C chords...

But the chords that sound good together when played...is that chord progression? I am not sure of the terminology but I need a diagram that will provide it.

Thanks

I am not aware of a specific chart that lists chords that sound good together but I have a chart that will let you take a progression in one key and convert to another key if that helps. Try taking a basic chord progression like Am C D F Em from House of the rising sun and use the chord conversion chart on my web site to convert it to other keys.

There is also a variety of progressions on my web site under practice strumming that are chord progressions from a variety of popular songs.

I also suggest that you go through a variety of tabs and pick the progressions out of them. Especially songs you like and the chords sound good.

Pick a letter and count up the next five

D, E, F, G, A, B
F, G, A, B, C, D

1,4 and 5 are major
2,3, 6 are minor

and for anyone who read that prior to my typo correction, my apologies

Olaf Torvund has a very good set of articles on chord progressions:

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

The difficult thing about that is that there's so many of them. If you limit the number of chords in the progression to five or less, and allow only major or minor chords, you'll have over eight million possible progressions. That's a lot to sift through to find the ones which sound good. And add to that the fact that good is subjective. You'll have quite a few possibilities to deal with. Luckily, there's no need to have a chart of all of them. A chart of the most popular ones sounds like a good idea to me.
