Son Of A Preacher Man

 7   7  7   7  7    8    7   -7
Bil-ly-Ray was a Preach-er's son,

  7   7   -9 -9   -9   -9 -9   
when his dad-dy would vis-it 

-9    8  7   7
he'd come a-long,

  7    7    7   7     7   
When they gath-ered round 

 7    8    7   -7  7
and start-ed talk-ing,

  6   6  6   6   6    -7   6  -5   6
Cous-in Bil-ly would take me walk-ing,

   6     6    6    6   -7   6  -5   6
Through the back yard we'd go walk-ing,

  6    6    6  -6 -7  6  -5
Then he'd look in-to my eyes,

 -8    -8  -8  9  9   -8
Lord knows to my sur-prise:

chorus-

 7   7  7  7   7    7    8 7    -7   7
The on-ly one who could ev-er reach me,

-9  -9   -9 -9 -9    8    7  7
Was the son of  a preach-er man,

 7   7  7  7   7    7    8  7  -7    7
The on-ly boy who could ev-er teach me,

-9  -9   -9 -9 -9    8    7  7 
Was the son of  a preach-er man,

 7   7  7    6  -7 6   7
Yes he was, he was -, oh 

verse 2.
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 alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

Chorus....

 7    7  7  7  -8  7
How well I re-mem-ber,

 7    7    6   6  -6  7   -6 6
The look that was in his eyes-,

  7    7    7   7   6   6 -6  7   7
Steal-ing kiss-es from me on the sly,

-6   -6  -6  -6  -7   -6
Tak-ing time to make time,

 -6   -6 -6  -6  -6   -7   -7 -6
Tell-ing me that he's all mine -,

 -7    -7  -7   -7   -7 -7      7
Learn-ing from each oth-er's knowing,

 -7  -7  -7  -7  7   -8    8    -8 7
Look-ing to see how much we'd grown-.

Chorus....
