[Bbm] [E]
Billy Ray was the preacher's [A] son, and when his daddy would [E] visit he'd come along
When they'd gather round his daughter [B] talking, that's when Billy would take me a [B]-walking
Out through the backyard we'd go walking, then he'd look into my [B] eyes
Lord, most to my [E] surprise, the only one who could ever [A] reach me
Was the [E] son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever [A] teach me
Was the [E] son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, [B] he was, [A] yes, he was
[E]
Being good isn't always [A] easy, no [E] matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talking [B] to me
He'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away again [E] tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever [A] teach me
Was [E] the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, [B] he [A] was, yes, he was
[D] He was [A]
in his eyes, stealing kisses from me on the sly
[B] Taking time to make time, telling me that he's all [E] mine
Learning from each other's knowing, looking to see how much you [A]
ever [D] teach me
Was the [A] son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever [D] teach me
The [A] only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, [E] he was, [D] yes, he [Am] was
[A] He was a [D] sweet talking [A] son of a preacher man
Sweet talking son
[D] [A] of a preacher
[D] Sweet talking son [A] of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach [D] me
Was the son of [A] a preacher man Oh
