Verse 1:

       E
      Billy Ray was a preacher's son
                    A                      E
      And when his daddy would visit he'd 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

Chorus:

           E
      The only one who could ever reach me
      A                   E
        Was the son of a preacher man
           E
      The only boy who could ever teach me
      A                    E
        Was the son of a preacher man
                      B    A
      Yes he was, he was,     mmm, yes he was

      [1: repeat intro (1X)  2: to bridge]

Verse 2 [one line shorter than verse 1]:

      Being good isn't always easy
      No matter how hard I'd try
      When he started sweet-talkin' to me
      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

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

                D
      (Yes, he was)

      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

Chorus [in A]:

               A
      And the only one who could ever reach me
      D                    A
        Was the son of a preacher man
           A
      The only boy who could ever teach me
      D                    A
        Was the son of a preacher man
                      E   D7
      Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was

Coda:

            A
      (The only one who could ever reach me
                     D                      A
                         Was the son of a preacher man)
        He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man)

      (The only boy who could ever teach me
                         Was the son of a preacher man)
                 A kiss-stealin' son of a preacher man

      (The only one who could ever move me
       Was the son of a preacher man)

      (The only one who could ever groove me
       Was the son of a preacher man)            [fade]
