Here's one possible solution:

\version "2.11.64"

myChords = \chordmode {
  c1 g f c
}

myMelody = {
  c2 c4 c4 |
  c4 c c c |
  c4 c c c |
  c2 c
}

myLyrics = \lyricmode {
  Hi there let's |
  have fun with this |
  Here we have fun |
  don't we
}

<<
  \new ChordNames {
    \myChords
  }
%  \new Devnull {
%    \new Voice = "myVoice"
   \new Devnull = "myVoice" \myMelody
%  }
  \new Lyrics {
    \lyricsto "myVoice" \myLyrics
  }
>>


%%%% End of snippet.

This will generate lots of warnings, but it gives chords aligned with
syllables.

One reason for wanting to use it might be the possibility of transposing
easily in LilyPond.
