   Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
   Bbm       G#        F#        F7

      Bbm
There lived a certain man
In Russia long ago,
       D#m
He was big and strong
       F7             Bbm
In his eyes a flaming glow.
     Bbm
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear,
       D#m
But to Moscow chicks
       F7            Bbm
He was such a lovely dear.

   Bbm
   He could preach the Bible like a preacher
   D#m6                F7
   Full of ecstasy and fire.
   Bbm
   But he also was the kind of teacher
   D#m6  F7      Bbm
   Women would desire.

Chorus:
     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#           Bb
     Lover of the Russian queen.
   G#            D#       Bb
     There was a cat that really was gone.

     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#                Bb
     Russia’s greatest love machine,
   G#         D#        Bb
     It was a shame how he carried on.

Instrumental: Bbm | Bbm Fm | Bbm | Bbm Fm
              Bbm | Bbm | D#m | F7 Bbm

   Bbm
He ruled the Russian land
And never mind the Tsar,
        D#m
But the Kazachok
          F7           Bbm
He danced really wunderbar.
   Bbm
In all affairs of state
He was the man to please,
       D#m
But he was real great
        F7            Bbm
When he had a girl to squeeze.

   Bbm
   For the Queen he was no wheeler-dealer
   D#m6                               F7
   Though she’d heard the things he’d done.
   Bbm
   She believed he was a holy healer,
   D#m6      F7       Bbm
   Who would heal her son.

Chorus:
     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#           Bb
     Lover of the Russian queen.
   G#            D#       Bb
     There was a cat that really was gone.

     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#                Bb
     Russia’s greatest love machine,
   G#         D#        Bb
     It was a shame how he carried on.


Bbm G#                    F#maj
But when his drinking and lusting,
        G#         Bbm
And his hunger for power
                Bbm
Became known to more and more people,
G#
The demands to do something
      F#maj     G#6
About this outrageous man
  Bbm
Became louder and louder!


   Bbm                           Fm
   Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
   Bbm                           Fm
   Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
   Bbm                           Fm
   Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
   Bbm                           Fm
   Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Instrumental: Bbm | Bbm | D#m | F7 Bbm

      Bbm
“This man’s just got to go,”
Declared his enemies,
        D#m
But the ladies begged,
           F7            Bbm
“Don’t you try to do it, please.”
   Bbm
No doubt, this Rasputin
Had lots of hidden charms,
          D#m
Though he was a brute,
          F7            Bbm
They just fell into his arms.

   Bbm
   Then one night some men of higher standing
   D#m6                       F7
   Set a trap, they’re not to blame.
    Bbm
   “Come to visit us,” they kept demanding
   D#m6   F7     Bbm
   And he really came.

Chorus:
     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#           Bb
     Lover of the Russian queen.
   G#              D#     Bb
     They put some poison into his wine.

     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#                Bb
     Russia’s greatest love machine,
   G#            D#      Bb
     He drank it all and said, “I feel fine.”

     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#           Bb
     Lover of the Russian queen.
   G#            D#         Bb
     They didn’t quit, they wanted his head.

     Bb    C#
     Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
     D#                Bb
     Russia’s greatest love machine,
   G#            D#       Bb
     And so they shot him till he was dead.

Oh, those Russians!
