Son Of A Preacher Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his [G]daddy would visit
he'd [D]come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
[A]That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

[Chorus 1]
The [D]only one who could ever reach me
[G]Was the son of a pre[D]acher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
[G]Was the son of a pre[D]acher man
Yes, he was, he [A]was, [G]ooh, yes, he was
[D][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Bein' good isn't always easy
[G]No matter how har[D]d I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
[A]He'd come and tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

[Chorus 2]
The [D]only one who could ever reach me
[G]Was the son of a pre[D]acher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
[G]Was the son of a pre[D]acher man
Yes, he was, he [A]was,
[G]Lord knows, he was (yes, he was[C])

[Bridge 1]
[C]How well I remember
[G]The look that 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'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

[Chorus 3]
The [G]only one who could ever reach me
[C]Was the son of a pre[G]acher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
[C]Was the son of a pre[G]acher man
Yes, he was, he [D]was, [C]oh, yes, he was

[Outro 1]
(The [G]only one who could ever reach...)
He was the [C]sweet-talkin' son
of a [G]preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
[C]Yes, he was son of a pre[G]acher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
[C](Was the son of a pre[G]acher man)
[Repeat and fade]
