I did the following:

harmonies = \chordmode { a1:m | a2:m bes | c1 | a1:m | f | e | f | c2
d:m | a1:m | a2:m g:m | f1 | c | a/cis | d:m | a:m | g | a:m | d2:m g |
a1:m }

Are you sure about the number values? I ask because I used the number
values after the chord character 'a1' to indicate its a whole measure
and 'a2' to indicate a half measure and got the results I wanted.

Aside on the slur how do you slur chord names? For example how do I get
away with no repeating the Am chord in the second measure.
