                      C                     
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
       Em                    G7                 
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
                               C7                  
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
       Em                   G7                
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear


[Chorus]
C7                                       
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Em      F           G   
Full of ecstasy and fire
    C7                                
But ■  he also was the kind of teacher
C7                
Women would desire

There was a cat that really was gone

Rararasputin ■ Russia's greatest love machine

He   ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
        Em7                F#7    Bm       
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
   Bm                                           
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
       Em7                    F#7           Bm     
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
Bm7 Bm  Bm7                          
For the Queen he was no wheelerdealer
E7                                 F#7 
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
Bm              Bm7              
She believed he was a holy healer
Bm        F#7      Bm  Bm7
Who would heal her son ■

Rararasputin Russia's greatest love machine
A        E         B7 E7        
It was a shame how he carried on


[Bridge]
Bm7 Bm   A                  G           A              Bm   
But when ■ his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power
                Bm                  
Became known to more and more people
A                                 G    A              Bm7

This man's just gotta go  declared his enemies
               Em7              F#7          Bm    
But the ladies begged Don't you try to do it please
   Bm                                           
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
          Em  Em7               F#7           Bm  
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms


[Chorus]
Bm7  Bm  Bm7                              
Then one night some men of higher standing
E7                        F#7  
Set a trap they're not to blame
Bm7                                 
Come to visit us they kept demanding
       F#7    Bm  
And he really came

Rararasputin lover of the Russian Queen
A             E      Bm   B7      
They put some poison into his wine
D            E                 Bm          
Rararasputin Russia's greatest love machine
A           E          E7          Bm7  B7
He drank it all and he said I feel fine ■ 
Bm           D E            Bm           
Rararasputin ■ lover of the Russian Queen
A           E                    B7  
They didn't quit they wanted his head
Bm           D E                             
Rararasputin ■ Russia's greatest love machine
A                    B7              
And so they shot him 'til he was dead
