Said snippet is the doc-tagged "Simple Lead Sheet" from LSR
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=478

I changed the code to:
<<
  \chords { c2 g:sus4 f e }
  \new Staff \relative c'' {
    a4 e c8 e r4
    b2 c4( d)
  }
  \addlyrics { One day this shall be free __ }
>>

Should be available for our docs with next LSR-import.
