No I DO NOT!
I have explained distictively what I expect and illustrated by an added 
example graphics.

To avoid any confusion with fret number and fingering, check this code:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\new TabStaff \relative c' {
  a,8-1  a'-2 <c-3 e-4> a-1
  d,8-2 a'-3 <d-4 f-1> a-2
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
