  The chords are 
   
          E 
          Billy Ray was a preacher's son 
                        A                        E 
          And when his daddy'd visit he'd come along 
 
When they gathered round and started talking 
That's when Billy would take me walking, 
all through the backyard we'd go walking, 
then he'd looked into my eyes, 
lord knows to my surprise 
 
  chorus: 
            E 
        The only one who could ever reach me 
          A                    E 
            Was the son of a preacher man 
                   E 
          And the only boy who could ever teach me 
          A                    E 
            Was the son of a preacher man

          {repeat intro} 
   
          {another verse - something about "bein' good isn't always 
  easy"} 
Bein' good isn't always easy, 
no matter hard I try, 
when he started sweettalking to me, 
he'd come and tell my everything is allright 
he'd kiss it down and everything's allright 
Can I get away again tonight ? 
 
 
          {repeat chorus} 
   
  bridge: 
   
          A        D 
          Oh yes he was 
        How will I remember 
          A 
          The look within his eyes 
          Stealin' kisses from me on the sly 
          B7 
          Takin' time to make time 
          Tellin' me that he's all mine 
          E 
          Learnin' from each other's knowin' 
 
        Looking to see how uch we've grown
