Here's one way to do it:
%%% Start
\version "2.19.83"
words = \lyricmode {
One, two and three four
}
melody = \relative c'' {
\time 3/4
g2. |
g8 a f2 ~ |
2. |
e2.
\bar "|."
}
harmony = \relative c' {
\time 3/4
\voiceTwo
s2. |
<d b>2. ~ |
2. |
s2.
\bar "|."
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" {
<<
\new Voice = "lead" {
\melody
}
\new Voice = "harmony" {
\harmony
}
>>
}
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } {
\lyricsto "lead" { \words }
}
>>
\layout {
}
}
%%% End
