How about this:

%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.

\header{
  title = "Here Comes the Sun"
  subtitle = "Original music and lyrics written by George Harrison 1969."

}

\relative {
  \set Staff.instrumentName = "Capo VII"
  \key e \major
  \override Script.staff-padding = #3 % <--- Adjust to taste
  a'8^\downbow^"D" <e' a cis>\downbow a\upbow b\downbow cis\upbow <a, e'>
a' a, |
  e' cis' b <a, e'> a' <a, e'>
}

%%%%%%%%%

HTH,
Abraham
