Like the following?

(misclicked, continuing)

\version "2.18.0"

\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode { ees':maj7 }
                        #guitar-tuning
                        % using a list like for 'fret-diagram-verbose'
                        #'((mute 6)
                           (mute 5)
                           (place-fret 4 13)
                           (place-fret 3 12)
                           (place-fret 2 11)
                           (place-fret 1 10)
                           )

chordNames = \chordmode {
    c1:m7
    ees1:maj7
    %% maybe uncomment:
    % \once \omit ChordName
    ees':maj7
}

melody = \relative c' { c2 f4 bes,4 ees aes, des ges, ees'1 }

verse = \lyricmode { I met a fair young mai -- den. ":)" }


\score {

  <<

    \new ChordNames \chordNames
    \new Staff \new Voice = "m" \melody
    \new TabStaff \melody
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "m" \verse
    \new FretBoards \chordNames

  >>

}

HTH,
