[Verse 1]
   A           E                   A
My face to the sky, my back to the wind
                      D
Winter is entering my bones
    A            E                        A
The day has been long and night's drawing in
        A           D           E
And I'm thinking of heading for home
        A           D           A
And I'm thinking of heading for home
 
 
[Verse 2]
    A          E                        A
The cradle and grave, the fruit and the seed
                      D
The seasons mirror my own
    A            E                    A
The geese flying south are calling to me
        A           D           E
And I'm thinking of heading for home
        A           D           A
And I'm thinking of heading for home
 
 
[Verse 3]
    A         E                A
Always on the move with banner unfurled
                          D
Yet gathering moss on the stone
  A            E                        A
I sing for the children and cry for the world
        A           D           E
And I'm thinking of heading for home
        A           D           A
And I'm thinking of heading for home
 
 
[Verse 4]
   A             E                         A
As time's my old friend and death's my new kin
                           D
I'm not taking the journey alone
     A         E                         A
I am old, I am young, I am all that I've been
        A           D           E
And I'm thinking of heading for home
        A           D           A
And I'm thinking of heading for home
 
 
[Verse 5]
    A         E                    A
The memory of love will burn in my heart
                          D
Till embers and ashes are gone
    A             E                     A
The light in your window is my northern star
        A           D           E
And I'm thinking of heading for home
        A           D           A
And I'm thinking of heading for home
 
 
[Outro]
         A          D           E
And it's time I was heading for home
          A          D           A
Yeah it's time I was heading for home

The 6th chord is each passage is an Ebm - 'long', 'South', 'children', etc...

Then it moves to the F# afterwards before the B - both of which you have.
