i'd probably cheat and do it like this(*):

\version "2.17.27"

\new Staff {
<<
  { \shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 0.5) (3 . 0.5) (3 . 0)) LaissezVibrerTie
c''1\laissezVibrer }
  \\
  { \shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . -0.5) (3 . -0.5) (3 . 0)) LaissezVibrerTie
c'1\laissezVibrer }
>>
<c' e' g'>1
}

(*) for whole notes with laissezVibrer, otherwise, may become tricky
trying to make it _look_ like a chord.

or, seeing as they're more or less symmetrical, use harm's LSR link above. :)
