Verse:
      Gbm
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
       Bm                     Db             Gbm
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
-xBm-x
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
       Bm                   Db            Gbm
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
-xBm-x
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Bm                  Db
Full of ecstasy and fire
Gbm
But he also was the kind of teacher
Bm     Db   Gbm
Women would desire
 
Chorus 1:
Gb     A         B            Gb
Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen
E           B        Gb
There was a cat that really was gone
-xGb-x   A         B                 Gb
Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
E        B         Gb
It was a shame how he carried on

Verse:
   Gbm
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
        Bm                   Db           Gbm
But the kasatschok he danced really wunderbar
-xBm-x
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
           Bm                 Db            Gbm
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
-xBm-x
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Bm                                 Db
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
Gbm
She believed he was a holy healer
Bm        Db       Gbm
Who would heal her son
 
Chorus 1:

Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
E        B         Gb
It was a shame how he carried on
 
Interlude:
| Gbm      | E       | D   Dbm | Gbm      | x2
-spoken word-
"But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power
became known to more and more people, the demands to do
something about this outrageous man became louder and louder".
 

| Gbm             | Gbm      Db     |
  Hey hey hey hey  hey hey hey hey -x4-
 
| Gbm      | Gbm      | Bm      | Db  Gbm  |
 
 
Verse:
      Gbm
"This man's just got to go," declared his enemies
        Bm                        Db            Gbm
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
-xBm-x
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
          Bm                    Db            Gbm
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
-xBm-x
Then one night some men of high standing
Bm                          Db
Set a trap - they're not to blame
Gbm
"Come to visit us," they kept demanding
Bm     Db     Gbm
And he really came
 
Chorus 2:
Gb     A         B            Gb
Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen
E             B      Gb
They put some poison into his wine
-xGb-x   A         B                 Gb
Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
E           B       Gb
He drank it all and said "I feel fine"
 
Chorus 3:
Gb     A         B            Gb
Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen
E           B          Gb
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
-xGb-x   A         B                 Gb
Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
E           B        Gb
And so they shot him till he was dead
         Gbm
-Spoken- Oh, those Russians...
