But your code is trying to get Staff to *include* the ChordNames context [which 
it's not defined to do], as opposed to putting it above itself.  =)

Try:

music = <<
  \new ChordNames  \chords { c2 g:sus4 f e }
  \new Staff <<
     \relative c'' {
       a4 e c8 e r4
       b2 c4( d)
     }
     \addlyrics { One day this shall be free __ }

Cheers,
