Billy Ray was a preacher's son

             A                      E
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

E
When they'd gather 'round and started talking

B7
That's when Billy would take me walking

A-through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

    E
The only one who could ever reach me

A                    E
  Was the son of a preacher man

    E
The only boy who could ever teach me

A                    E
  Was the son of a preacher man

                B    A
Yes he was, he was,  mmm, yes he was

E
Being good isn't always easy

A             E
No matter how hard I'd try

E
When he started sweet-talkin' to me

B7
He'd come and tell me everything is all right

    E
The only one who could ever reach me

A                    E
  Was the son of a preacher man

    E
The only boy who could ever teach me

A                    E
  Was the son of a preacher man

                B    A
Yes he was, he was,  mmm, yes he was

          D
(Yes, he was)

A
  The look was in his eyes

B7
   Takin' time to make time

E7
   Learnin' from each other's knowin'

        A
And the only one who could ever reach me

D                    A
  Was the son of a preacher man

    A
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

      A
(The only one who could ever reach me

             D                      A
                 Was the son of a preacher man)
