The pattern is played two times per bar (indicated by / in first verse).
In the first and second line of every verse there are three chords per bar
and I play the pattern C and E.

Cohen plays - don't really know :

There are twenty four notes (triplets) per bar, too much for my fingers.

Am  Am  / Am   Am

        / C        E         Am
When they poured a-cross the border
    / C         E      Am
I was cautioned to sur-render,
     / C         G   / G (2/4)
this I could not do;
F           F         / C       E  / Am  Am / Am  Am
  I took my gun and van-ished.

       C          E       Am
I have changed my name so often,
     C       E        Am
I've lost my wife and children
           C        G       G
but I have many fri-ends,
F           F                C    E / Am  Am / Am Am
   and some of them are with me.
