Don't do it theoretically, but rely your imagination. Sing in your head as if improvising. I'm very sure that Mozart and Schubert did it the same way. Or do you really think, that, when Schubert wrote his famous songs, he had his chords there and thought "well, this is a G major, maybe I could add a d - but b and g would also be possible... or should I even use a tone which is not part of the chord?!"?
