      Bm                                    
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
       E                     F#7            Bm  
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
     Bm                                            
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
       E                    F#7           Bm  
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
                                 Bm      
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
     Bm                 
Full of ecstasy and fire
            Bm                     
But he also was the kind of teacher
E                 
Women would desire
E

Rararasputin lover of the Russian Queen
                     D              
There was a cat that really was gone

Rararasputin Russia's greatest love machine
A        E

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


[Chorus]

Rararasputin lover of the Russian Queen
A           E        B7             
There was a cat that really was gone
D            E                             
Rararasputin Russia's greatest love machine
A        E                    Bm
It was a shame how he carried on


[Bridge]
A                         G           A              Bm   
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power
                Bm                  
Became known to more and more people
                            G          A              Bm                      
The demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder

■  ■  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
          E                     F#7           Bm  
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms


[Chorus]
Bm                                        
Then one night some men of higher standing
                          F#7  
Set a trap they're not to blame
Bm7           Bm

       F#7    Bm  
And he really came

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


[End]
         Bm
