Bm
There lived a certain man
In Russia long ago,
Em
He was big and strong
F#7 Bm
In his eyes a flaming glow.
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear,
Em
But to Moscow chicks
F#7 Bm
He was such a lovely dear.
Bm
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Em6 F#7
Full of ecstasy and fire.
Bm
But he also was the kind of teacher
Em6 F#7 Bm
Women would desire.
Chorus:
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Lover of the Russian queen.
A E B
There was a cat that really was gone.
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Russia’s greatest love machine,
A E B
It was a shame how he carried on.
Instrumental: Bm | Bm F#m | Bm | Bm F#m
Bm | Bm | Em | F#7 Bm
Bm
He ruled the Russian land
And never mind the Tsar,
Em
But the Kazachok
F#7 Bm
He danced really wunderbar.
In all affairs of state
He was the man to please,
Em
But he was real great
F#7 Bm
When he had a girl to squeeze.
Bm
For the Queen he was no wheeler-dealer
Em6 F#7
Though she’d heard the things he’d done.
Bm
She believed he was a holy healer,
Em6 F#7 Bm
Who would heal her son.
Chorus:
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Lover of the Russian queen.
A E B
There was a cat that really was gone.
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Russia’s greatest love machine,
A E B
It was a shame how he carried on.
Bm A Gmaj
But when his drinking and lusting,
A Bm
And his hunger for power
Became known to more and more people,
A
The demands to do something
Gmaj A6
About this outrageous man
Bm
Became louder and louder!
Bm F#m
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Bm F#m
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Bm F#m
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Bm F#m
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Instrumental: Bm | Bm | Em | F#7 Bm
Bm
“This man’s just got to go,”
Declared his enemies,
Em
But the ladies begged,
F#7 Bm
“Don’t you try to do it, please.”
No doubt, this Rasputin
Had lots of hidden charms,
Em
Though he was a brute,
F#7 Bm
They just fell into his arms.
Bm
Then one night some men of higher standing
Em6 F#7
Set a trap, they’re not to blame.
Bm
“Come to visit us,” they kept demanding
Em6 F#7 Bm
And he really came.
Chorus:
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Lover of the Russian queen.
A E B
They put some poison into his wine.
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Russia’s greatest love machine,
A E B
He drank it all and said, “I feel fine.”
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Lover of the Russian queen.
A E B
They didn’t quit, they wanted his head.
B D
Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
E B
Russia’s greatest love machine,
A E B
And so they shot him till he was dead.
Oh, those Russians!
