I can read tab just fine but I have zero clue on how notes / chords relate to each other
They have charts online and in books that tell you what chords go together in each key. There are 8 notes in one octave of the major scale, but typically 6 chords that people use. Your E A B is the I IV V. Understanding the numbers helps because that will help you transpose the pattern into a different key. For example a very popular pattern in a ton of pop songs is I V VI IV.
E B C#m A
F C Dm Bb
G D Em C
A E F#m D
C G Am F
D A Bm G
Consult this:
http://www.guitar-chord.org/key-and-chord-chart.htmlKeys are very important, but especially for singing. In fact in certain pop songs they throw in a key change up a full step (2 notes up the scale) toward the end of the song on a chorus typically. If you don't sing or work with a singer then you will likely never have to change the key.
