interesting. i play it with 3 chords G D and Am 

0........2........2........2........

0........0........2........2........

0........2........5........5........

G       D       Am     Am

rinse and repeat...chorus and verse.  my CBG is tuned to DAD so i play from the 5th fret. i changed it for a GDG tuning. 

open G first chord GDG and D as ADA root on the middle string and then Am as the inversion root on the highest string 5th fret 2,E second string fret 2 and C 5th fret low string,  for some reason these seem the nicest to me...

Ya, even Dylan plays it differently. In the original recording it's four chords. Depending on the vid you watch the earlier ones he still uses the four chords. Even when he preformed it with Tom Petty. When he did the unplugged version he only played the A minor. Great both ways. 

I play

G - D - Am / G - D - C / G - D - Am / G - D - C - D

for the verse. And

G - D - Am / G - D -C - D / G - D - Am / G - D - C - D

for the chorus.

(But I have to admit that this is a six-string song for me. I've never played it on a CBG... Should probably try some time...)
