Lilypond doesn't handle re-entrant strings! so you need to tell Lilypond 
which string to use for each note (well, in just this case you only need 
to enter string 4 and 1 and it will figure out the rest. But I find it 
more logical to enter all strings...)

Strings are entered as \n where n is the string number counted from the 
"highest" string which usually are the one lowest down when you play.

<g'\4 c'\3 e'\2 c''\1>
