TITLE: Son of a Preacher Man
Lyrics and Chords
[Capo 2]
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 'round and started talking
That's when Billy would take me walking
Through the backyard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
/ D - / G D / D - / A - / / / /
{Refrain}
The only one who could ever reach me
Was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was a son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was
/ D - / G D / : / D A G - /
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I tried
When he started sweet talking to me
He'd come tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight
{Refrain}
Yes he was
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealing kisses from me on the sly
Taking time to make time
Telling me that he's all mine
Learning from each others knowing
Looking to see how much we'd grown
/ C - / / G - / / A - / / D - / /
{Refrain}
/ G - / C G / : / G D C - /
The only one who could ever reach me
He was a sweet talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I guess he was a son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Sweet talking son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Was a son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Was a son of a preacher man
/ G - C G / :
