Newbie chord alignment question

Hello,

I am new user to this wonderful program. I have quick question about chord 
alignment. I would like to align the chord names to the left (i.e, near the 
bar). The .ly file I wrote (see below) prints the chord names at the center of 
each measure along the X. 

Thanks in advance


\version "2.10.33"

        \header {
          title = "Work"
          composer = "Me"
          opus = "Op. 1"
        }

        \paper {
          #(define dump-extents #t)
          
          indent = 0\mm
          line-width = 160\mm
          force-assignment = #""
          line-width = #(- line-width (* mm  3.000000))
        }
