vic,

The guitar is technically a transposing instrument. By convention it is
notated one octave higher than it actually sounds. This is to keep the
notes nicely spaced across the treble clef.

However, LilyPond does not transpose guitar tabulature by default. The
notes you input are the actually sounded notes.

To transpose the notes down an octave, simply add \transpose c' c {} around
your music.

%%%
\score{
  % c major and minor
  \new StaffGroup{
    <<
      \new Staff{ \keyTime \cMajor \cMinor }
      \addlyrics{ do mi so CM do mi(b) so cm }
      \new TabStaff{
        \transpose c' c { \cMajor \cMinor }
      }
    >>
  }
  \layout{}
}
%%%

Best Regards,
Greg
