"I" or "1" is always the root chord of the major scale. So if you are in the key of "G major" it would be the G major chord. "IV" is the 4th, or subdominant chord and "V" is the 5th, or dominant chord. In the key of G, That would be C and D. When the chord is shown in lowercase, like "vi" that generally indicates a minor chord. I the key of G, that would be the 6th chord, Em. Different people have a different take on that notation, though, it is not always hard and fast.
