Maybe something like this will work for you?
Since this separates text and music you'll have to count to place the text
at the right position.

\version "2.18.0"

\score
{

        \new Lyrics \lyricmode { foo2 _4 bar }
        \new ChordNames \chordmode { c1:7 }
        \new Staff { c'2 c'4 c' }

This works for me.

OK, almost.. Unfortunately, using "\skip" in the lyrics breaks multi-rests.

The example below has a multi-rest only if you remove the "Lyrics" voice.

\version "2.18.0"

<<

  \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \skip 1 \skip 1 "text n text" }

  \new ChordNames \chordmode { s1*2 c1:7 }

  { \compressFullBarRests R1*2 c''1 }

>>

 

Thank you, and also thanks to everbody else who suggested solutions!
