Jon, If you take away the Staff from strk's example, and do it the way I had my original, you'll have just what you want.
The score should contain: << \new ChordNames { \myChords } \new Devnull = "Melody" { \myMelody } \new Lyrics { \lyricsto "Melody" \myMelody } >> Try my second example (the first one was broken).
