  |     |    |    |     |


[Verse 1]

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

        When they gathered 'round and started talking
        B
         That's when Billy would take me walking

        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

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


[Verse 2]

       E
        Being good isn't always easy
       A              E
        No matter how hard I tried

        When he started sweet-talkin' to me
       B
        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


[Chorus]

            E
        The only one who could ever reach me
         A                      E
          Was the son of a preacher man

         The only boy who could ever teach me
        A                      E
          Was the son of a preacher man,
                        B         A                  D
         Yes he was, he was------lord knows  he was.  (Yes he was)
      D
        How well I remember
        A
         The look that was in his eyes

        Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
        B
          Takin' time to make time

        Tellin' me that he's all mine
        E7
         Learnin' from each other's knowing

         Lookin to see how much we'd grown and


[Chorus]

            A
        The only one who could ever reach me
        D                     A
         Was the son of a preacher man

        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


[Outro]

            A
        The only one who could ever reach me
         D                                     A
          He was the sweet talkin son of a preacher man

          The only boy who could ever teach me
          D                                   A
          Aah, the kiss stealing son of a preacher man
             A
         The only one who could ever move me
         D                              A
          the sweet talkin son of a preacher man

         The only one who could ever groove me
          D                     A
           Was the son of a preacher man
