What are the chords in this section at 2:14?

Hi folks, 

it's been a while since i posted here, hope you're all well.

A few years ago, via this very forum, I was turned on to Level 42's Guaranteed album by @bigjon.  ;;;

I really like the tune Overtime and have all the chords worked out, apart from one bit!

I'm hearing the verse as a big Gm6 vamp.  
The chords to the chorus are:|Cmaj7 | B7 | Em7 | mystery section..... |I think the first chord stab is a G7, but I can't fill in the blanks and make them sound right!

viz

Wow that’s a great song. 

The stabs have the bass notes just going up the scale, so (including the first, longer, E):

E F G A B C

And the chords are

Em
F
C (2nd inv) - ie C/G
Am
G (1st inv) - ie G/B
Cmaj7

So I’d probably play them:

022000
133211
332010
x02210
x2003x
x32000

or something. 

Or if I wanted to preserve the upper melody and play lighter chords I’d do something like

x7x987
x 8 10 10 10 x
x 10 10 9 8 x
xx755x
xx978x
x x 10 9 8 7

I’m with @viz for the most part here. First couple of chords I differ though. I hear it like this 

G/F
F/G
Am7
G/B... possibly Bm7#5
Cmaj7

I’d probably play sparse voicings here to be honest, keeping the top line that’s in the keys part. 

x-x-x-7-8-7

x-x-x-5-6-5

x-x-5-5-5-x

x-x-9-7-8-x or possibly x-x-7-7-8-x

x-x-x-9-8-7

Thanks @viz ; and @Brad .   

I am using your voicings, Brad and playing the x-x-9-7-8-x   voicing.  

Cheers, it's been bugging me for ages that one.

No worries man. Regards to that voicing, I’m not 100% either way and it’s not enough to drastically change things anyway. Lovely changes mind. 

P.S I’d make the Em7 an Em9 too
