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

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
E minorEm F#F# B minorBm
But the kasatschok he danced really wunderbar
(B minorBm)
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
E minorEm F#F# B minorBm
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
(B minorBm)
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
E minorEm F#F#
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
B minorBm
She believed he was a holy healer
E minorEm F#F# B minorBm
Who would heal her son

{Spoken underneath the above chords}
"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".

"This man's just got to go," declared his enemies
E minorEm F#F# B minorBm
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
(B minorBm)
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
E minorEm F#F# B minorBm
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
(B minorBm)
Then one night some men of high standing
E minorEm F#F#
Set a trap - they're not to blame
B minorBm
"Come to visit us," they kept demanding
E minorEm F#F# B minorBm
And he really came

He drank it all and said "I feel fine"

They didn't quit, they wanted his head
(BB) D MajorD E MajorE BB
Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine

And so they shot him till he was dead
B minorBm
{Spoken} Oh, those Russians...
