(It's also sometimes known by its politically correct title, "The Food Preparation Area Person." ;^) This is kind of a rough guide to how I play this one. I tend to get the third and fourth strings ringing pretty much throughout the first part as a sort of drone, and try to let the notes "ring into" one another as much as possible. I've indicated some optional notes, which are (in parentheses). Also, I've just given general directions for the accompaniment chords. Learn the tune first, and the chords should fall into place. Where I've indicated Dm, F will usually work, too. Where I've indicated D/Dm/F I mean "D or Dm or F." Use bass runs in measure three of the four-bar phrases. The standard "G to D walkup" sounds good going from G to Dm in measure 19, etc. Like most of these modal tunes, it kind of "accompanies itself," and the chord choices aren't that critical (at least to my ear). This one's usually played in A, so put Mr. Capo [tm] on the second fret. I play it around 210 - 240 beats/minute. Be sure to use strict down-up-down-up alternate picking for eighth note passages.
