A slightly modified version of your file:
\version "2.12.1"
global = {
  \clef "G_8"
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4
}
markups = {
  s4^"Em" s s^"Hm" s4
  s4^"Em" s2.
}
music = {
    e'4 <g' b'>4 b4 <d' fis' a'>4 |
    \arpeggioArrowDown <e' g' b'>4\arpeggio r4 r4 \normalsize b4
}

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \global
    \markups
    { \teeny \music }
