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).

Yes, this works, but it only confirms my belief that someone who wants
this really would be better off with a word processor or GuitarTeX. The
spacing looks awful without a staff, not at all the sort of thing you
normally see in a songbook of this type. (If the staff is present, at
least the spacing makes sense because you can see where the words are
supposed to fall inside the measures.) The output of GuitarTeX looks
exactly like a lyrics/chordnames songsheet is supposed to look, so I
would recommend pointing people to that instead of trying to make
Lilypond do it. Maybe we should put an example in the docs anyway,
though. I suppose at the very least it would show people how to do it
and it wouldn't come up on the list anymore (or we'd have a place to
direct them when it did). Maybe we could do one example with a blank
staff and one without any staff at all?
