parallel lyrics and alternate chords |

I need help on two items.
Bar 4 (below) is the end of the verse and the start of the chorus. The fs,g,a
notes are the end of the verse and I want to have the lyrics "aah aah aah" for
these notes. The pickup for the chorus is the d,d notes and I want to have the
lyrics "I could" for these notes. I understand the problem is the 2 voices used
in bar 4. I've looked at a number of solutions for this issue in the lilypond
document and the website, but I can't seem to make any of them work for me, and
all the solutions seem complex. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I want to indicate alternate chords, e.g., instead of just an "A" chord,
I want to indicate "A (Em)", meaning the artist can play either the "A" or "Em"
chord. I tried putting a "markup" on the "A" chord but that is not allowed.
Again, any help would be appreciated.
