Or try:

\version "2.16.2"

\include "english.ly"


\score {

  \new Staff
  {
    \time 4/4
    \clef "treble"

    <<
    {
    \voiceOne
      bf'1   ef''1  ef''1  gs''1  af''1  cs'''1
    }

    {
    \voiceTwo
      g'1    g'1   c''1    c''1   f''1   f''1
    }

    {
    \voiceThree
      b1     e'1   e'1     a'1    a'1    d''1
    }
