Here's one way to do it:

%%% Start

\version "2.19.83"

words = \lyricmode {
  One, two and three four
}

melody = \relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  g2. |
  g8 a f2 ~ |
  2. |
  e2.
  \bar "|."
}

harmony = \relative c' {
  \time 3/4
  \voiceTwo
  s2. |
  <d b>2. ~ |
  2. |
  s2.
  \bar "|."
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "upper" {
      <<
        \new Voice = "lead" {
          \melody
        }
        \new Voice = "harmony" {
          \harmony
        }
      >>
    }
    \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } {
      \lyricsto "lead" { \words }
    }
  >>
  \layout {
  }
}

%%% End

Thanks for the help.

This approach puts the melody and harmony voices into different columns, with different stems.

Is there any way to get them to become realigned, and share stems?
