Rasputin
|Am |Am
1. There lived a certain man in Russia long ago.
|Dm |E7 Am
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow.
|Am |Am
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
|Dm |E7 Am
but to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.
|Am |Am |Dm |E7
He could preach the Bible like a preacher, full of ecstacy and fire
|Am |Am |Dm E7 |Am
but he also was the kind of teacher women would desire.

Mid. But when drinking and lusting and his hunger for power became known to more and more people
|G Fmaj7 G Am
the demands to something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.
|Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Dm E7 Am Dm E7
Hey, hey, hey.
2. This man just gotta go, declared his enemies
but the ladies begged: "Don't you try to do it, please".
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
though it was a brute, they just fell into his arms.
Then one night some men of higher standing set a trap, they're not to blame.
"Come to visit us!" they kept demanding and he really came.
Refr. Ra-ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen. They put some poison into his wine.
Ra-ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. He drank it all and said: "I feel fine".
Refr. Ra-ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen. They didn't quit, they wanted his head.
Ra-ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. And so they shot him 'til he was dead.
End. Oh, those Russians!
