[Verse]
E E7 E                               
■ ■  ■ Billy Ray was a preacher's son
             A                      E         
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
          E                                  
When they gathered around and started talkin'
B7                                     
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
B7                                       
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'


[Chorus]
                       B7  
Then he'd look into my eyes
     B7                  
Lord knows to my surprise
    E                             A 
The only one who could ever reach me
                 E           
Was the son of a preacher man
                                  A 
The only boy who could ever teach me
                 E           
Was the son of a preacher man
              B7  A              E E7
Yes he was he was ooh yes he was ■ ■ 


[Verse]
E                       A   
Bein' good isn't always easy
          E             
No matter how hard I try
        E                         
When he started sweettalkin' to me
B7                                           
He'd come and tell me Everything is all right
          B7                                 
He'd kiss and tell me Everything is all right
B7                          
Can I get away again tonight
    Emaj7        E                  
The only one who could ever reach me
A                E           
Was the son of a preacher man
                                  A 
The only boy who could ever teach me
                 E           
Was the son of a preacher man
              B7  A                   A7  D
Yes he was he was ■ ooh Lord knows he was ■


[Chorus]
           A       
How well I remember
A                            
The look that was in his eyes
                               B7 
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
B7                      
Takin' time to make time
B7                           
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E7                                
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
E7                                     
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
    A                             D 
The only one who could ever reach me
                 A           
Was the son of a preacher man
                                  D 
The only boy who could ever teach me
                 A           
Was the son of a preacher man
              E   D7        A     
Yes he was he was ■  oh yes he was
           D                     A           
He was the sweettalkin' son of a preacher man
                 D        A  
Was the son of a preacher man
        D                     A           
Was the sweettalkin' son of a preacher man
