It's generally best to have a separate score block for MIDI output, so
you can unroll repeats and so on --- just leave the chords out of
that score.

accomp=\chords {c4 f g2:7}
tune=\relative c'' { c4 c b a}
\score {
       <<
       \context Chords \accomp
       \context Staff {\key c \major \time 4/4 \tune}
       >>
       \layout{}
}
\score  {
       \unfoldRepeats <<
           \context Staff {\key c \major \time 4/4 \tune}
       >>
       \midi {}
}
