I worked this out by ear from the 1971 BBC Sessions, and 1971 Massey Hall. The 
other chords for this song were wrong so I thought I'd do this.
A very simple song, which follows the same pattern all the way through:
         DAG  DAD
[Intro]     /   
[Verse 1]
           D                 A               G                D
When the winter rains come pouring down, on that new home of mine
           D                A             D
Will you think of me, and wonder if I'm fine?  
             D                 A                   G                 D
Will your restless heart come back to mine, on a Journey through the Past
         D               A                 D
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?
        DAG  DAD
[Break]    /   
[Verse 2]
         D             A             G                  D
Now I'm going back to Canada, on a Journey through the Past 
       D                   A        D
And I won't be back til' February comes 
        D                       A                       G             D
I will stay with you if you'll stay with me, said the fiddler to the drum
          D                     A                  D
And we'll keep good time on a Journey through the Past
        DAG  DAD
[Break]    /   
[Verse 3]
           D                A                G               D
When the winter rains come pouring down, on that new home of mine
         D               A                 D
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?
         D               A                 D
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?
Neil plays this on piano, and there are a couple of licks he does in here such as:
                                          D    G
- for the "G" in the into he is hitting a  and  repeatedly, then drop the G to 
                DG  DF#
an F#, so:        /     (this is right above middle C)
- on the "D" for the intro and parts in the verses, he is hitting a D triad, so: D 
F# A, then moving the top two notes up to G and B, then back down
    DF#A  DGB  DF#A
ex.    /    /      (this is below middle C)
