That major IV chord is critical and its major 3rd is heavily emphasised. The major 3rd on a IV chord implies a major 6th on a minor i chord, therefore it's Dorian through and through.
Try the following:
e minor
A major
e minor
e minor
e minor
A major
e minor
e minor
G major
A major
e minor
e minor
G major
D major
e minor
e minor.
A suitable strumming rhythm would be boom-chucka, boom-chucka (I'm not up on strumming rhythm notation).
That's the chords. With the melody, what gives it that rather mournful wistful lonely quality is the sparseness to the tunes. The tunes are not rich or luxurious. You can achieve that on the melody (not the harmony) by under-emphasising the 3rd on each chord, apart from on the IV chord. So within your e Dorian noodlin', over the e chord emphasise E and B frequently; over the A chord play the important C# frequently; over the G, emphasise G and D; and over the D play D, A and F#. The other notes in e Dorian can all be used judiciously throughout, but more sparingly.
To demonstrate how suitable Dorian is to spaghetti music, just imagine the cowboys sitting round the fire with the guitar, singing Scarborough Fair or Hooray and up she rises, and see how appropriate those chords seem! Very folky.
On occasion you find a major piece, which very often has the trademark progression I, IV, I, bVII, V.
for example,
A major
D major
A major
G major, E major.
This is classic A mixolydian. In Mixolydian it's that flat 7 note and chord that are important; normally a flattened 7th is used in a minor key, so in a major key it's very distinctive. And the bVII chord followed by a V chord (with its major 3rd) gives a very unique sound because of the G of the bVII versus the G# of the V. For soloing in A Mixolydian you can use the concept above of overemphasising the 1sts and 5ths of each chord. The 3rds to bring out are over the I chord (the C#) and over the bVII chord (the B ).
