Pentatonic scales will work nicely.
G, A, C, D, E, G, for example. Any collection of whole steps and minor thirds will do (G, B-flat, C, D, F, G, or G, B-flat, C, E-flat, F, G, or G, A, B, D, F, G), though each will sound different.
Instead of like a single chord all day, this is more likely to sound like a pleasing melody. This is what I would suggest. My own chimes are similar to this, based on an ancient Chinese scale.
Two other possibilities come to mind, though both would be more complicated.
-create Middle Eastern scales (think Aladdin, snake charmer music). I'd create a drone in fifths/octaves and the scale in the higher chimes.
-create a jazz effect with a lower main chord and then upper structure triads in the other two chimes. For example, a G-based lower chime with F and D based upper ones (make D the high one), or a C based one instead of D (for a less dissonant ring). It's a bit like Jeff's 5ths idea.
But I'd still go with the pentatonic ones.
