Please always send a working LilyPond code example. It will make it
easier to understand what you tried.
The above does not compile (I'm using v2.10.33)!

The following excerpt might do what you want:

%---
\version "2.10.10"

theMusic = {
  \time 4/4
  <cis, eis gis cis>8[ <cis, eis gis cis>] <d, f a d>[ <d, f a d>]
}

\score {
  \theMusic
  \layout {}
}
%---


Best,
