Here’s one attempt. You should be able to take it from here.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS

\version "2.19.80"

theMelody = {
  e'4 d' c' d'
  e'4 4 4 4
  d'4 4 e' d'
  c'2. r4
}

theChords = \chordmode {
  c2 f
  c1
  f2 g
  c1
}

theWords = \lyricmode {
  Mar4 -- y had a lit -- tle lamb,
  Its fleece was white as snow.2
}

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames \theChords
    \new Staff \new Voice = "melody" \theMelody
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \theWords
  >>
  \layout {
    ragged-right = ##f
  }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Devnull \new NullVoice = "melody" \theMelody
    \new ChordNames \theChords
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \theWords
  >>
  \layout {
    ragged-right = ##f
    \context {
      \Staff
      \omit StaffSymbol
      \omit BarLine
      \omit Clef
