Yes, here's an example:  (try to get a 2.6 version, I am on Debian testing.  I am not sure about chords, or complex stuff)

\version "2.6.3"
\header {
    composer =  ""
    piece = "Raspberry Jam"
    dedication = "For Molly Daly"
}

melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 6/8
  \repeat volta 2 { %TUNE_START
    b'8    d8    d8    d8 b8    d8    \bar "|"   
    e8    fis8    g8    d8    b8    g8 \bar "|"   
    c8    b8    a8    b8    a8    g8    \bar "|"   
    a8    g8 e8    g8    e8    d8    \bar "|"   
    g8    d'8    d8    d8    b8 d8    \bar "|"   
    e8    fis8    g8    d8    b8    g8        \bar "|" 
    c8    b8    a8    b8    a8    g8    \bar "|"   
    d8    g8    fis8 g4.    		\bar "|"
  }

  \repeat volta 2 { 
    d'8    e8    fis8    g8    d8    b8    \bar "|"   
    g'8    d8 b8    g'8    d8    b8    \bar "|"   
    d8    e8    fis8    g8    d8  b8    \bar "|"   
    c8    a8    a8    a4.    \bar "|"   
    g8    d'8    d8    d8    b8    d8    \bar "|"   
    e8    fis8    g8    d8    b8 g8        \bar "|"   
    c8    b8    a8    b8    a8    g8    \bar "|"   
    d8    g8    fis8    g4.      
  } % TUNE_END
