Ordinarily, you want the TabStaff to include all the notes in the chord to
be played, rather than just the notes in the melody.

I'd suggest that you *not* use fret diagram markups, and instead use the
FretBoards context.

Then you'd do something like:

Notes = {
  c d g b
}

myChords = \chordmode {
  s4 d s2
}

\score <<
  \new Staff {
    \Notes
  }
  \new FretBoards {
    \myChords
  }
  \new TabStaff {
    \myChords
  }
>>
