Directly defined:
Tone: quality or character of sound.
Key: the relationship perceived between all tones in a given unit of music and a single tone or a keynote; tonality.
Note: a sign or character used to represent a tone, its position and form indicating the pitch and duration of the tone.
But basically, the relationship between them is that tones make up notes which make up keys.
Tones are the sounds that we receive individually -- pitches, if you will.
Notes are those pitches with names. When we actually divide them up into individual sounds that we name and can record. The keys on the piano or the strings of a violin, etc.
Keys are when we put the notes together into a sequence. There are MANY different combinations that people have put together over the years, but basically it's a group of notes in a row.

Tones and semitones are the gaps between notes. For example (on a piano) C and D are a tone apart because C Sharp is in the middle. The gap from C to C Sharp is a semitone the same as E to F.
A semitone is directly next to whereas a tone is next but one to the note.
