OK, the intro riff is
(E)

----------------------------------------

where the high E's are played with twelfth-fret harmonics.
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
E B A
Yes he was, was, yes he was
{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
coda {repeat to fade}
And the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
coda {repeat to fade}
A
The only boy who could ever reach me
D
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
{sort of ad-libbed}
