There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
                                            B7  
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
                                               B7  
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
E7                                 Gb7        
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
                                 B       
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
        A               
Full of ecstasy and fire
    Gmaj7                   Gbm7   
But he also was the kind of teacher


[Verse]
B Bm7 Gbm7 B Gbm

Lover of the Russian Queen
            E                       
There was a cat that really was gone

Russia's greatest love ■ ■  machine
               Gb7              
It was a shame how he carried on
B                                                
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
                                  E        
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
                           Gb7     E            
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
                                            B      
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
                        E            
For the Queen he was no wheelerdealer
       E                               
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
Gb7          B                   
She believed he was a holy healer


[Chorus]
          B           
Who would heal her son
   E          
Ra ra Rasputin

Russia's greatest love machine
         E     B7     B       B7
It was a shame how he carried on


[Verse]
B A                         G      
■ But when his drinking and lusting
    A              B    
And his hunger for power
                B                   
Became known to more and more people
B                          
The demands to do something
G          Gbm7          
About this outrageous man
B                 B7    
Became louder and louder


[Chorus]
                            E  
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
        Gb7         B       B7    
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey ■  hey
           B    E         Gb7          Gb      Gb7
This man's just got to go declared his enemies ■  
B   B7                              E        Gb7   
But the ladies begged Don't you try to do it please
B7 B          B7                E7        Gb7   
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
          B                E7   E    Gb7  B       
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
                    E             Gb7     
Then one night some men of higher standing
      B              B7  B       
Set a ■ trap they're not to blame
B7   E  Gb7 B     Bm7    B         B7        E7
Come to ■   visit ■   us they kept demanding ■ 
    E

Lover of the Russian Queen
A             E      B7           
They put some poison into his wine
      E       
Ra ra Rasputin
                       B      
Russia's greatest love machine
E           E7             B7       
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
      D       
Ra ra Rasputin
E                      A      
Russia's greatest love machine
                 E   B       B7
