Dusty Springfield, Son Of A Preacher Man (1968)
Key: :[D#] (w: John Hurley, Ronnie Wilkins)
INTRO: [D#] [*R1 x2]
VERSE 1:
[D#] Billy Ray was a preacher's son, and
When his
[G#] Daddy would visit he'd
[D#] come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
[A#] 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
[D#] only one who could ever reach me
[G#] Was the son of a
[D#] preacher man
The
[D#] only one who could ever reach me
[G#] Was the son of a
[D#] preacher man
Yes he
[D#] was, he
[A#] was,
[G#] mmm, yes he was
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
[D#] Being good isn't always easy
[G#] No matter how
[D#] hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
[A#] 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:
[C#] How well I remember,
[G#] the look was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
[A#] Takin' time to make time, tellin' me that he's all mine
[D#] Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Look at us here, how much we've grown
CHORUS:
The
[G#] only one who could ever reach me
[C#] Was the son of a
[G#] preacher man
The
[G#] only one who could ever reach me
[C#] Was the son of a
[G#] preacher man
Yes he
[G#] was, he
[D#] was,
[C#] mmm, yes he was
