[Bb] [E]
[E]
And [A] when his daddy would visit [E] he'd come along When they'd gather round his daughter [B] talking
That's when Billy would take me a [B]-walkin' Out through the backyard we'd go [B] walkin'
Then he'd look into my [B] eyes Lord knows to my surprise
[E] The only one who could ever reach [A] me Was the [E] son of a preacher [A] man
[E] The only one who could ever teach [A] me Was the son [E] of a preacher man
See what, [B] see what, [A] mmm, you see what
[E]
Being good isn't always [A] easy No [E] matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' [B] to me He'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss me, tell me everything's alright Can't I get away again [E] tonight
The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever [A] teach me Was the [E] son of a preacher man
You see what, [B] you see what, [A] mmm, you see what
[D] He was in [A]
his house, stealing kisses from me on [B] the sly
Taking time to make time, telling me that he's all [E] mine
Learning from each other's knowing, looking to see how much we've [A] grown
And the only one who could ever [D] reach me Was the [A] son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever [D] teach me Was [A] the son of a preacher man
You see what, [E] you see what, [D] mmm, you see what
[A] He was the
[D] sweet-talking [A] son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach [D] me Was the son [A] of a preacher man
The only one who could ever [D] teach me Was the son [A] of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach [D] me Was the son of [A] a preacher man
