Key: :[F] (w: John Hurley, Ronnie Wilkins)
INTRO: [F] [*R1 x2]
VERSE 1:
[F] Billy Ray was a preacher's son, and
When his
[A#] Daddy would visit he'd
[F] come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
[C] 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
[F] only one who could ever reach me
[A#] Was the son of a
[F] preacher man
The
[F] only one who could ever reach me
[A#] Was the son of a
[F] preacher man
Yes he
[F] was, he
[C] was,
[A#] mmm, yes he was
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
[F] Being good isn't always easy
[A#] No matter how
[F] hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
[C] 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
[C] Takin' time to make time, tellin' me that he's all mine
[F] 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
[F] was,
[D#] mmm, yes he was
