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).
