Strumming
Tuning: G C E A
[Verse 1]
AmThere lived a certain man, in Russia long ago
He was Dmbig and strong, in his E7eyes a flaming Amglow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to MoDmscow chicks he was sE7uch a lovely dAmear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
FDmull of ecstasy and fE7ire
AmBut he also was the kind of teacher
DmWomen E7would deAmsire
[Chorus]
ARa, ra, CRasputin
DLover of the ARussian Queen
GThere was a Dcat that Areally was gone
Ra, ra, CRasputin
DRussia's greatest Alove machine
GIt was a shame how Ahe carried on
[Verse 2]
AmHe ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the Dmkazachok he danced. really wunderAmbar
AmIn all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he E7had a girl to Amsqueeze
For the Queen he was no wheeler dealer
DmThough she'd heard the things he'd E7done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her Amson
[Chorus]
ARa, ra, CRasputin
DLover of the ARussian Queen
GThere was a Dcat that Areally was gone
Ra, ra, CRasputin
DRussia's greatest Alove machine
GIt was a Dshame how Ahe carried on
[Spoken]
ABut when his drinking, and Glusting
And his hunger for Fpower
Became Gknown to more and Ammore people
AmThe demands to do something
GAbout this outrageous man
Became louder and Amlouder
[Verse 3]
"AmThis man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the Dmladies begged "Don't you E7try to do it, Amplease"
AmNo doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he Dmwas a brute they just E7fell into his Amarms
Then one night some men of higher standing
DmSet a trap, they're not to E7blame
"AmCome to visit us" they kept demanding
DmAnd he E7really Amcame
[Chorus]
ARa, ra, CRasputin
DLover of the ARussian Queen
GThey put some Dpoison Ainto his wine
Ra, ra, CRasputin
DRussia's greatest Alove machine
GHe drank it Dall and he Asaid "I feel fine"
ARa, ra, CRasputin
DLover of the Russian Queen
GThey didn't Dquit, they Awanted his head
Ra, ra, CRasputin
Russia's greatest Alove machine
GAnd so they Dshot him Atill he was dead
[Outro]
