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
Cousin Billy would take me walking                       (B7: A-|--2--|)
                                                              E-|--2--|
through the back yard we'd go walking                         C-|--3--|
                                                              G-|--2--|
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                
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
B7
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)
     
Verse 3 (bridge):

D
How well I remember
A
The look that 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 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 

Verse 4 (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. 
    
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

Fade out D A D A ...
