The first chord, the G chord, has to be minor because the piece is in G minor. So you can play:
G minor: 355333, x 10 12 12 11 10
Gm7: 353333, 355363, 353363, x 10 12 10 11 10
Gm9: 353335, 3133(3)(3), 357333, x 10 8 10 10 10
You can't play G or G7 because they both have a major 3rd, or Gmaj7 because that has a major 3rd and a major 7th, both of which aren't in G minor.
For the C chord, it's a C major (which tells you by the way that the song is in G Dorian mode - with a minor G chord with a major 6th, which becomes the major 3rd in the C chord. This tells you you could also have played Gm6, 353353. That's true of almost all i-IV songs, like DLR's coconut grove, The Shadows' Apache, etc). Anyway, for the C chord, the options are:
C: x32010, x35553, x7333x, 8 10 10 9 8 8
C7: x32310, x35353, x35557, 8 10 8 9 11 8
C9: x32333, x35333, 8 10 8 9 8 10.
You can't do Cmaj7, because the maj refers to the 7 not the 3, so as well as having a major 3rd (which is correct), you would have a major 7th, which is incorrect (x35453). You might just be misnaming it and actually playing C7, which has a major 3 and a minor 7, which is fine - see above.
The Bbmaj7 without a Bb is the notes DFA, which are in the chord Gm9 so it would sound ok though a bit odd without the G itself.

Have a look at my (edited) post. Maybe you're misnaming your maj chords?
