Hi Christian,

your pdf looks fine. But there are some aspects you could have achieved easier:

Instead of writing e.g. "g16*6" you could have used "g4.". A dotted quarter 
note consists of six sixteenth notes. Instead of "g16*10" you could have used 
"g8 s2" which is easier to read. You should consult the Learning Manual p. 
14-15 and the section Rhythm in the Notation Reference (p. 29-40)

Maybe this helps a bit to achieve your goal:

\version "2.13.3"

\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

#(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #t) 
\paper {
    indent = 0.0
    ragged-last = ##t

}

\header {
  title = "Title"
  composer = "Composer"
  meter = ""
  copyright = ""
}

global = {
        \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()
\time 4/4
\clef "treble_8"
\key g \major
}

Chords = \chordmode {
        c

}

strumming = \relative c'' {
        
        c4\downbow c8\downbow c\upbow c4\downbow c8\downbow c\upbow
}

melody = \relative c' {

g1

}


songtext = \lyricmode {
Yeah!
}

tab = \relative c {
        c8 g' <c e> g c,8 g' <c e> g
}

\score {
  <<

    \new ChordNames {
      \set chordChanges = ##t
       \Chords
    }
    \new FretBoards {
         \Chords
    }
    
    \new Staff = "singer" <<
        \new Voice = "melody" { \global \melody }
        \addlyrics { \songtext }
    >>
    
    \new Voice \with {
        \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver"
    }
    {\improvisationOn \global\strumming}
    
    \new TabStaff = "guitar tab" <<
        \context TabVoice = "tab"  \tab
      >>
  >>

}
