[Verse]
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'
D7                                     
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
            D7                      
Through the backyard we'd go walkin'
          D7               
Then he'd look into my eyes
                 D7      
Lord knows to my surprise


[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
C7      C        G           
Was the son of a preacher man
              D7          C7 G7 
Yes he was he was ooh yes he was


[Verse]
                 G      C   
Bein' good isn't always easy
          G             
No matter how hard I try
        G                         
When he started sweettalkin' to me
D7                                          
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              G7            
Was the son of a preacher man
    G7                              
The only boy who could ever teach me
C                G

■ How well I remember
         A7                     
The look ■  that was in his eyes
A7                                
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'
                   E                   
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
