Here's some newer Genesis material I've figured out recently.
Questions, comments, corrections all welcome.

SONG: Home By The Sea
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(intro) 4 bars of Em. I usually play it on the 7th fret.

Em                            D
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
D                          Em
stealing thru the dark of night
Em                        D
Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor
D                            Em
checking to the left and the right
Em                      D
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
D                             C         Am
something doesn't feel quite right

Em                  C   Am     Em
Help me someone, let me out of here
      C         Am        D        Bm
then out of the dark was suddenly heard
C              Am          Em
welcome to the Home by the Sea

Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door
pushing from above and below
shadows without substance, in the shape of men
round and down and sideways they go
adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
then as one they sign and they moan

Help us someone, let us out of here
living here so long undisturbed
dreaming of the time we were free
so many years ago
before the time when we first heard
welcome to the Home by the Sea

Em  G        Bm   D
    Sit down Sit down
   Em            G                Bm        D
as we relive out lives in what we tell you

(Bridge: 1 bar for each chord)
Em |Em |Am |Em |Cadd9 |Em |Gadd2 |G |F |F |C |C |Am |Em |Bm |Em |

Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
things that go to make up a life
endless days of summer longer nights of gloom
waiting for the morning light
scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame
things that go to make up a life

Help us someone, let us out of here
living here so long undisturbed
dreaming of the time we were free
so many years ago
before the time when we first heard
welcome to the Home by the Sea

Sit down Sit down
as we relive out lives in what we tell you
let us relive out lives in what we tell you

Sit down sit down
Em
cos you won't get away
G
so with us you will stay
Bm                             D
for the rest of your days. So sit down
As we relive out lives in what we tell you
Let us relive out lives in what we tell you
