[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
G7 G                             
■  Billy Ray was a preacher's son
             C                      G7        
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
G                             G7             
When they gathered around the parlour talkin'
D           D7                         
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
D                    D7             
Through the backyard we'd go walkin'
                       D   
Then he'd look into my eyes


[Chorus]
D7   D                   
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                G           
Was the son of a preacher man
       G7     G              C   G7
Yes he was he was ooh yes he was ■ 


[Verse]
G                       C   
Bein' good isn't always easy
              G7        
No matter how hard I try
        G7                        
When he started sweettalkin' to me
     D                                      
He'd kiss 'n tell me Everything is all right
D7        D                      
Baby baby everything is all right

      D

How well I remember

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
