[E] [Em]
[F] [E]
Billy Ray was a preacher's son, [A] when his daddy [E] would visit him come along.
When they'd gather round and started [B] talking, that's when Billy would take me walking.
Through the backyard we'd go walking, and he'd look into my eyes.
The noise that made them [E] frightened, and the only one who could ever reach [A] me,
[E] was the son of a preacher man.
And the only boy who could ever teach [A] me, [B] was the [E] son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, [B] he was.
[A] Ooooooh yeah.
[E]
Being good isn't always easy, [Em] no matter [E] how I try.
When they started sweet talking [B] to me, coming down and [Bm] everything was [B] alright.
Yes and now everything is alright, can I get away?
[A] And [E] the only one who could ever reach [A] me, was the son [E] of a preacher man.
And the only boy who could ever [A] teach me, was the [E] son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, [B] he [A] was.
Ooooooh.
[D] Oh well, I remember, [A] a look back in his eyes.
Silly kisses from me I [B] described.
Taking time to make up.
Challenging that [Bm] he's all [E] mine.
Looking to reach us.
[A]
And the only one who could ever reach [D] me, was the son of [A] a preacher man.
And the only boy who could ever teach [D] me, [G] was the son of [A] a preacher man.
Yes he was, [E] he was.
