Nice ASCII tab.  Which instrument/tuning?

Please, don't make such claims without including the code corresponding
to it.  It just annoys people and they have no chance of pointing out
your mistake.

Here is one example:

\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

\layout {
  ragged-right = ##t
  indent = 0
}

chordline = \chordmode { g s s s s s g:m7 s s s s e:m }

<<
  \new ChordNames \chordline
  \new FretBoards = frets \chordline
  \new Lyrics \with { associatedVoice = "frets" }
  \lyricmode {
    Quand il me prend dans ses bras \break
    Il me parle tout bas,
  }
>>
