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.
I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many fri-ends,
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
and some of them are with me.
An old woman gave us shelter,
kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came;
F F C E Am Am / Am Am
she died without a whis-per.
There were three of us this morning Hier encore nous étions trois
I'm the only one this evening Il ne reste plus que moi
but I must go on; Et je tourne en rond
F F C E Am Am / Am Am
the fron-tiers are my pri-son. Dans la prison des frontières
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, La vent souffle sur les tombes
through the graves the wind is blowing, La liberté reviendra
freedom soon will come; On nous oubliera !
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
then we'll come from the shad-ows. Nous rentrerons dans l'ombre.
Les Alle-mands é-taient chez moi, The Germans were at my home
ils me dirent: "Ré-signe toi," They said, "do resign,"
mais je n'ai pas peur; But I am not afraid
F F C E / Am Am / Am Am
j'ai repris mon ar-me. I have retaken my weapon.
J'ai chan-gé cent fois de nom, I have changed names a hundred times
j'ai per-du femme et en-fants I have lost wife and children
mais j'ai tant d'a-mis; But I have so many friends
F C E Am Am / Am Am
j'ai la France en-tière. I have all of France
Un vieil homme dans un gre-nier An old man, in an attic
pour la nuit nous a ca-chés, Hid us for the night
les Alle-mands l'ont pris; The Germans captured him
F F C E Am Am / Am Am
il est mort sans surpri-se. He died without surprise.
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
F F C E Am Am / Am Am (arpeggio)
then we'll come from the shad-ows.
