In the notation reference manual, 2.4.2, "Guitar".  Very first paragraph
reads:

"Most of the notational issues associated with guitar music are covered
sufficiently in the general fretted strings section, but there are a few
more worth covering here. Occasionally users want to create songbook-type
documents having only lyrics with chord indications above them. Since
LilyPond is a music typesetter, it is not recommended for documents that
have no music notation in them. A better alternative is a word processor,
text editor, or, for experienced users, a typesetter like GuitarTeX."

Thank you Kieran for showing me a possible option, I will play with it.
Much appreciations.
