Son Of A Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
[Intro]
[G] [C][G] [C][G]
[Verse 1]
[G] Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his [C] daddy would visit he'd [G] come along
When they gathered 'round and started talking
[D] That's when Billy would take me walking
through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
|[Chorus]
|The [G] only one who could ever reach me
|[C] Was the son of a prea[G]cher man
|The only boy who could ever teach me
|[C] Was the son of a prea[G]cher man
|Yes he was, he [D] was [C] Oh, yes he was [G] [C] [G]
[Verse 2]
[G] Being good isn't always easy
[C] No matter how [G] hard I tried
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
[D] 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]
|The [G] only one who could ever reach me
|[C] Was the son of a prea[G]cher man
|The only boy who could ever teach me
|[C] Was the son of a prea[G]cher man,
|Yes he was, he [D] was------[C] lord knows he was. [F] (Yes he was)
[F] How well I remember
[C] The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
[D] Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
[G] Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin to see how much we'd grown and
|[Chorus]
|The [C] only one who could ever reach me
|[F] Was the son of a prea[C]cher man
|The only boy who could ever teach me
|[F] Was the son of a preac[C]her man
|Yes he was, he [G]was, [F] ooh yes he was
[Outro]
The [C] only one who could ever reach me
[F] He was the sweet talkin son of a prea[C]cher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
[F]Aah, the kiss stealing son of a prea[C]cher man
The [C] only one who could ever move me
[F] the sweet talkin son of a prea[C]cher man
The only one who could ever groove me
[F] Was the son of a prea[C]cher man
