From: christopher b king bmed stnt 

Here's the way I've figured out the closing section to "the Musical Box"
by Genesis. This is the bit they segue into from "The Lamb Lies Down
on Broadway" when they play live (Check out Seconds Out to see what
I mean)

Here are the major patterns for the first bit (the "she's a lady" part)

all below are 2 beats each...
 F# pattern    D#m pattern   C# pattern   E pattern  
e----9-7-9--------6-4-6--------4-2-4----------0--------------------------
B---7-7-7-7------4-4-4-4------2-2-2-2--------0-0-------------------------
G-------------------------------------------1---1------------------------
D------------------------------------------2-----2-----------------------
A--9------------6------------4------------2-------2----------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is 8 beats (2 measures)
 F# pattern 2
e------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----2---2---2---0----2---2---2------------------------------------------
G-----3---3---3---1----3---3---3-----------------------------------------
D------4---4---4---2----4---4---4----------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---2---2---2---0----2---2---2---2---------------------------------------

Putting it together:
(the chord name is the pattern name here. each "/" is 1 beat)

|F# /  F#  / |F# / F# / |D#m /      D#m    /        |D#m  /  D#m  /|
                             She's a lady, ...Oh
                             She's a lady, ....Oh

C#       /         C#   /    |E    /    E    /       |F# no. 2 :||
   Brush back your hair, and ....
   Brush back your hair, and ...


Now Tony comes in on the organ.  
                                     |-|
Organ:  |F#  B  C#  F# |/. B     C# F# C#|   D#m. A#m D#m. A#m |
                                    I've been waiting ...
You stand there with your ...


|C#  G#m  B  /          |F#.  E  F#          E F#| E. F#  E  F# E |
            and all this time has passed me ....
           why don't you touch me, ....

                               ____________
                               |1. 
         |B.   E  F#  E  B  E  |F# / / / :||
          matter now 
touch me now ...
________________
|2.
||: F# .  E  F# E B E |B .  E F# E B E F# :||  repeat ...
                       now now now now now

ending

|B / / / |C# / / / |F# / / / | B / / / |C# / / / | F# / / B C# |F#

The rapidly alternating part flips between an F# and a C#, and 
finally ends on F#

Sorry there's no solo here, but I haven't quite figured it out yet.
Questions, comments, corrections all welcome. If anyone has the rest
of this, I'd love to see it!

enjoy!
