[I recommend to play the last part like that, 
otherwise the fast part wouldn't be playable:]

E  - 7-7-9-9-9-7
F# - 9-9-11-11-11-9
B  - 7-9-9-8-7-7
C# - 9-11-11-10-9-9

But the last F# chord play on 2-4-4-3-2-2, but I think it's obvious ;)

Anyway this is one of my favourite Genesis songs, I know that my work is not 
100% correct, but makes it able to play and sing at once, I hope you'll 

enjoy
as much as I do,
