Or:

\version "2.18.0"

global = {
  \clef "treble_8"
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4 %% not needed, 4/4 is default
}

one =
  \new Voice
    \relative c' {
      \voiceOne
      %% maybe add:
      % \override Rest.staff-position = 0
      r4 <a c e> r <a c e>
    }

two =
  \new Voice
    \relative c {
      \voiceTwo
      c2 e
  }


\new Staff <<
  << \global \one >>
  << \global \two >>
>>

I strongly recommend to read the Learning Manual and to look into the
Notation Reference
