[E] [E] [E] [E]
[E] Billy Ray was a preacher’s son
And when his [A] daddy would visit he’d [E] come along
When they’d gather ’round and started talking
[B7] 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
The [E] only one who could ever reach me
[A] Was the son of a [E] preacher man
The [E] only boy who could ever teach me
[A] Was the son of a [E] preacher man
Yes he [E] was, he [B] was, [A] mmm, yes he was
[E] [E]
[E] Being good isn’t always easy
[A] No matter how [E] hard I’d try
[E] When he started sweet-talkin’ to me
[B7] 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 [E] only one who could ever reach me
[A] Was the son of a [E] preacher man
The [E] only boy who could ever teach me
[A] Was the son of a [E] preacher man
Yes he [E] was, he [B] was,[A] mmm, yes he was(Yes, he [D] was…..)
[D] How well I remember
[A] The look was in his eyes
Stealin’ kisses from me on the sly
[B7] 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
And the [A] only one who could ever reach me
[D] Was the son of a [A] preacher man
The [A] only boy who could ever teach me
[D] Was the son of a [A] preacher man
Yes he [A] was, he [E] was, [D7] ooh yes he was
(The [A] only one who could ever reach me)
[D] Was the sweet-talking son of a [A] preacher man
(The [A] only boy who could ever teach me)
[D] Was the son of a [A] preacher man
(The [A] only one who could ever reach me)
[D] Was the sweet-talking son of a [A] preacher man
(The [A] only one who could ever reach me)
[D] Was the son of a [A] preacher man
