    Verse 1
    Billy 
    Ray 
    was 
    a 
    preacher's 
    son 

    And 
    when 
    his 
    daddy 
    would 
    visit 

    he'd 
    come 
    along 

    When 
    they 
    gathered 
    around 
    and 
    started 
    talkin' 

    That's 
    when 
    Billy 
    would 
    take 
    me 
    walkin' 

    Out 
    through 
    the 
    back 
    yard 
    we'd 
    go 
    walkin' 

    Then 
    he'd 
    look 
    into 
    my 
    eyes 

    Lord 
    knows, 
    to 
    my 
    surprise 

    Chorus 1
    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, 
    ooh, 
    yes, 
    he 
    was 


    Verse 2
    Bein' 
    good 
    isn't 
    always 
    easy 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    hard 
    I 
    try 

    When 
    he 
    started 
    sweet-talkin' 
    to 
    me 

    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 2
    The 
    only 
    one 
    who 
    could 
    ever 
    reach 
    me 

    Was 
    the 
    son 
    of 
    a

    man 

    The 
    only 
    boy 
    who 
    could 
    ever 
    teach 
    me 

    Was 
    the 
    son 
    of 
    a 
    preacher 
    man 

    Yes, 
    he 
    was, 
    he 
    was, 

    Lord 
    knows, 
    he 
    was 
    (yes, 
    he 
    was) 

    Bridge 1
    How 
    well

    remem
    ber 

    The 
    look 
    that

    his 
    eyes 

    Stealin' 
    kisses 
    from 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    sly 

    Takin'

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
