It sounds like a pretty typical organ sound. When organ tones get high enough, they start to sound thinner, and it becomes less critical to use the exact same drawbar settings that the player used in the recording you are listening to. I would start with 888888888, then play the top pitch alone, to see if it sounds reasonable or if you need to reduce certain drawbar settings. Then figure out what the next lowest note needs to be, play test those 'second notes' along with the 'top notes' and see if you need to modify the drawbar settings then, and continue.
There is probably some chorus or vibrato in there too. You can add that either on an Electro or Stage.
This organ part is not the main thing - it is a decoration. If you get the top two sounds of the chord right, with the right tone (drawbar and chorus settings), it will probably sound right in a band context, because the rhythm guitar and bass parts are much more prominent and important.
Regarding the top note of the chord, for a lot of time in this song I hear a lot of the note "G": For example, for most of the time from 1:57-2:08 the "G" is most prominent at the top of the chord, and you can hear where it occasionally dips down to F#. The same is true earlier in the song, from 0:50-1:17. And then from 1:17-1:18 the organ sound gets richer - maybe an extra note below the others was added to the chord, or maybe the organ play added some volume via the control pedal?
Part of what you will need to do will depend on how your band's guitarist plays. If they use an acoustic and play it similar to what you see in this video, that will leave space for you to play those sustained organ notes at a relatively high pitch, which you hear in this video. In the video, those two chord playing instruments did not step on each other's sound space - you can hear both, even with the organ part being soft. If your guitarist plays on electric instead of acoustic, that might change things, and if your guitarist starts playing higher chord voicings or most sustained notes, that could change things too.
