I think John's idea is a good one. There are many ways to tie chords together with lyrics and each has some strengths and weaknesses. I guess I'd rather see ABC used because it's a more complete system and doesn't insist that the reader already know the melody. Still, simple chord-lyric formats are common and the one John suggests at least has software support.
