VERSE 1:
[E] Billy Ray was a preacher's son, and
When his
[A] Daddy would visit he'd
[E] come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
[B] 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
CHORUS:
The
[E] only one who could ever reach me
[A] Was the son of a
[E] preacher man
The
[E] only one who could ever reach me
[A] Was the son of a
[E] preacher man
Yes he
[E] was, he
[B] was,
[A] mmm, yes he was
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
[E] Being good isn't always easy
[A] No matter how
[E] hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
[B] He'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away again tonight
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
[D] How well I remember,
[A] the look was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
[B] Takin' time to make time, tellin' me that he's all mine
[E] Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Look at us here, how much we've grown
CHORUS:
The
[A] only one who could ever reach me
[D] Was the son of a
[A] preacher man
The
[A] only one who could ever reach me
[D] Was the son of a
[A] preacher man
Yes he
[A] was, he
[E] was,
[D] mmm, yes he was
