E
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
A E
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
B
That's when Billy would take me walking
A-through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
Chorus:
E
The only one who could ever reach me
A E
Was the son of a preacher man
E
The only boy who could ever teach me
A E
Was the son of a preacher man
B A
Yes he was he was mmm yes he was
[1: repeat intro (1X) 2: to bridge]
Verse one line shorter than verse 1
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I'd try
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
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
D
Yes he was
How well I remember
A
The look 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 knowin'
Look at us here how much we've grown
Chorus [in A]:
A
And the only one who could ever reach me
D A
Was the son of a preacher man
A
The only boy who could ever teach me
D A
Was the son of a preacher man
E D7
Yes he was he was ooh yes he was
Coda:
A
The only one who could ever reach me
D A
Was the son of a preacher man
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
A kiss-stealin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Was the son of a preacher man fade
