Intro: E A E E A E
E A E
Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
E B
When they gathered 'round and started talking, That's when Billy would take me walking,
B
Through the back yard, we'd go walking. Then he'd look into my eyes,
B
Lord knows to my surprise
E A E
The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man
E A E
The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man
E B A E A E
Yes he was, he was Oh, yes he was
E A E
Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried
E B
When he started sweet-talkin' to me, He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man
E B A D
Yes he was, he was .... Lord knows he was. (Yes he was)
D
How well I remember
A
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
B
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E7
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we'd grown and
The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was
The only one who could ever reach me He was the sweet talkin' son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me Aah, the kiss stealing son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me The sweet talkin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me Was the son of a preacher man
