===== Alpha Omega (album version) =====
The version on here originally was how John plays this song live, however the recorded version is played in a different key.
This is my best approximation of how it's played:
John hammers on and off the B string on the A chord, and then between a D and DMaj7
Try to keep the high e string muted except when playing the E chord.
A D
on the morning you went away
the air was humid and the sky was gray
A E A
i had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
A D
the air was wet, my face was wetter
A E
the pink flowers along the western window made me feel better
A D
i turned the air conditioner on
found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone
i had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
i popped the top off of the aluminum can
let the brine slide down my fingers, man
it was warm, it was warm on my skin
but i felt the cold blast looming on in
i had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

This can either be plucked or strummed, plucked uses the A and B strings simultaneously.
Regardless of which, hammer on and off the B string where appropriate.
Listen to it live or the studio recording to get a good idea of when this is done.
