[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
G7 G               G7            
■  Billy Ray was a preacher's son
             C                      G         
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
                              G7             
When they gathered around the parlour talkin'
D                                      
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
            D                       
Through the backyard we'd go walkin'
                       D   
Then he'd look into my eyes


[Chorus]
     Dm7                 
Lord knows to my surprise
G7                                  
The only one who could ever reach me
C                G           
Was the son of a preacher man
G                                   
The only boy who could ever teach me
C                G7          
Was the son of a preacher man
              G              C   G7
Yes he was he was ooh yes he was ■ 


[Verse]
                        C   
Bein' good isn't always easy
              G         
No matter how hard I try
        G                         
When he started sweettalkin' to me
D                                           
He'd kiss 'n tell me Everything is all right
D7                               
Baby baby everything is all right
      D7                          
Can I sneak away again tonight now


[Chorus]
G7                                  
The only one who could ever reach me
C              G             
Was the son of a preacher man
                       G7           
The only boy who could ever teach me
C                            
Was the son of a preacher man

How well I remember ■
                  A          
The look that was in his eyes
                               A  
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly


[Verse]
B                     B7  
■ Takin' time to make time
        B7                   
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E                                 
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
                                    A  
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
