By moving the Volta_engraver to the context(s) where you want it to appear:

% default, chords below volta
\score {
  <<
    \chords {
      c1
      c
    }
    \new Staff {
      \repeat volta 2 { c'1 }
      \alternative { c' }
    }
  >>
}

% chords above volta
\score {
  <<
    \chords {
      c1
      c
    }
    \new Staff \with { \consists Volta_engraver } {
      \repeat volta 2 { c'1 }
      \alternative { c' }
    }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \remove Volta_engraver
    }
  }
}
