Greetings,

you just have to use the appropriate contexts; in your case, that
would look like

<<
  \new ChordNames \chordmode { your chords }
  \new Staff \relative c' { your music (with fret diagrams as \markups }
  \new TabStaff { your tabs }
>>

Obviously, you will have to read the documentation since chords and
notes are entered using a specific syntax:

If you speak French, you might also be interested in subscribing to
