[Verse 1]
There [Am]lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was [Dm]big and strong,
in his [E]eyes a flaming [Am]glow
Most [Am]people looked at him
with terror and with fear
But to [Dm]Moscow chicks
he was [E]such a lovely [Am]dear

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]He could preach the Bible like a preacher
[Dm]Full of ecstasy and [E]fire
[Am]But he also was the kind of teacher
[Dm]Women [E]would [Am]desire

[Chorus 1]
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Lover of the [A]Russian queen
[G]There was a cat[D] that rea[A]lly was gone
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Russia's greatest [A]love machine
[G]It was a sha[D]me how he [A]carried on[A]

[Verse 2]
He [Am]ruled the Russian land
and never mind the Czar
But the [Dm]kazachok
he danced [E]really wunder[Am]bar
In [Am]all affairs of state
he was the man to please
But he [Dm]was real great
when he [E]had a girl to [Am]squeeze

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[Dm]Though she'd heard the things he'd [E]done
[Am]She believed he was a holy healer
[Dm]Who would [E]heal her s[Am]on

[Chorus 2]
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Lover of the [A]Russian queen
[G]There was a cat[D] that rea[A]lly was gone
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Russia's greatest [A]love machine
[G]It was a sha[D]me how he [A]carried on[A]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]But when[G] his drinking and lust[F]ing
And [G]his hunger for [Am]power
Became known to [Am]more and more people
The [G]demands to do something
About [F]this outra[G]geous man
Be[Am]came louder and louder

[Interlude 2]
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, [Em]hey, hey, hey
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, [Em]hey, hey, hey
[Am][Am][Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 3]
"This [Am]man's just got to go",
declared his enemies
But the [Dm]ladies begged,
"Don't you [E]try to do it, [Am]please"
No [Am]doubt this Rasputin
had lots of hidden charms
Though he [Dm]was a brute,
they just [E]fell into his [Am]arms

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am]Then one night some men of higher standing
[Dm]Set a trap, they're not to b[E]lame
[Am]"Come to visit us", they kept demanding
[Dm]And he r[E]eally [Am]came

[Chorus 3]
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Lover of the [A]Russian queen
[G]They put some poi[D]son int[A]o his wine
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Russia's greatest [A]love machine
[G]He drank it all[D] and sai[A]d, "I feel fin[A]e"

[Chorus 4]
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Lover of the [A]Russian queen
[G]They didn't qui[D]t, they wan[A]ted his head
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin
[D]Russia's greatest [A]love machine
[G]And so they sho[D]t him 'ti[A]l he was dea[A]d
Oh, those Russians
