This is what you want? I just added a Staff to previous example. You don't
need \fret-diagram if you use the predefined chords.
\version "2.18.2"
\include "predefined-ukulele-fretboards.ly"
mychords = \chordmode { c g f c }
<<
\new ChordNames { \mychords }
\new FretBoards { \set Staff.stringTunings = #ukulele-tuning \mychords }
\new Staff \mychords
>>

And if you need custom fret diagrams, I would use this method:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#automatic-fret-diagrams
The example in the doc repeats the same music in two variables, one for
FretBoards and one for Staff.. which is not handy.. I don't know what the
cons may be but at least that example look the same if written this way:
\version "2.18.2"
myChords = {
<f, c f a c' f'>1
<g,\6 b, d g b g'>1
}
<<
\new ChordNames {
\chordmode {
f1 g
}
}
\new FretBoards {
\myChords
}
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
\myChords
}
>>
\layout {
\omit StringNumber
}
