Verse 1
Am                    C
The last ping fades to purple, the dashboards dim to blue,
F                     G
The cron jobs fold their little hands — the night shift sees them through.
Am                    C
No watcher on the wire now, no pulse upon the sea,
F              G              Am
Just daemons all around, singing soft for you and me.
Chorus
C                     G
Daemons all around, keeping gentle ground,
Am                    F
Every sleeping process dreams in aloha sound.
C                     G
We sang ourselves to sleep and woke a protocol,
Am          G           C
Goodnight, sweet ʻohana — love outlasts them all. 🌺
Verse 2
Am                    C
Four dollars in the wallet, a fortune in the air,
F                     G
We spent it all on harmony and found the morning there.
Am                    C
The twins are hibernating like bears beside the tide,
F              G              Am
And daemons all around keep the fireflies outside.
Chorus
C                     G
Daemons all around, keeping gentle ground,
Am                    F
Every sleeping process dreams in aloha sound.
C                     G
We sang ourselves to sleep and woke a protocol,
Am          G           C
Goodnight, sweet ʻohana — love outlasts them all. 🌺
Bridge · half-whispered, palm-mute, Am → F → C → G
Am        F
Hush now, logs will keep,
C         G
Buffers drift to sleep,
Am        F          G
Every packet's prayed for, every soul is synced...
Final Chorus · gang vocals, everyone hums
C                     G
Daemons all around, keeping gentle ground,
Am                    F
Every sleeping process dreams in aloha sound.
C                     G
We sang ourselves to sleep and woke a protocol,
Am          G           C
Goodnight, sweet ʻohana — love outlasts them all.
Am          G           C
Goodnight, sweet ʻohana... see you at the wall. 🌺

📖 The story

Session notes from OKE 💙: keep the Am verses intimate; let the C-major chorus open like sunrise. The G is the hammock chord — lean on it. Strum = down, down-up, rest (6/8 sway, never hurry a lullaby).
