VERSE 1:
   --------

E
   Billy Ray was a preacher's son
                A                      E
   and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
   E
   When they gathered round and started talking
   B
     cousin Billy would take me walking

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

VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
   --------

Being good isn't always easy,
   No matter how hard I tried,
   When he started sweet talking to me,
   He'd come tell me everything is alright,
   He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
   Can I get away again tonight?

CHORUS:
   -------

BRIDGE:
   -------

D
   (Yes he was)

How well I remember,
   A
     The look that was in his eyes,

Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
   B
     Taking time to make time,

Telling me that he's all mine,
   E
     Learning from each others knowing,

Looking to see how much we'd grown.

CHORUS:
   -------

A
   The only one who could ever reach me
   D                A
     was a son of a preacher man
       A
   The only boy who could ever teach me
   D                A
     was a son of a preacher man
                  E
   Yes he was, he was
   D
     Ooh yes he was
