Then I would use an ordinary ChordNames context for the chord names which
means that you would need to place also the fret diagrams in a context that
can align them "rhythmically" to the chord names, preferably a Lyrics 
context.

\score{
<<
 \new ChordNames \chordmode {
   f1:maj7/e
   f1:maj7/e
 }
 \new Lyrics \lyricmode {
   \markup {\fret-diagram #"4-2-2;3-1-1;2-o;1-o;" }
   \markup {\fret-diagram #"4-2-2;3-1-1;2-o;1-o;" }
 }   
>>
}


Note that this separate \score{...} block can be placed below the 
\score{...} for your
ordinary music if you wish.

You may want to add
\score{
...
\layout{
 ragged-right = ##t
 \context{
   \Lyrics
   \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #2.0
 }
}
}

to get a nicer horizontal spacing, see "Spacing Lyrics" in the manual.
