There [Bm] lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was [Em] big and strong, in his [F#m] eyes a flaming [Bm] glow
Most [Bm] people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to [Em] Moscow chicks he was [F#m] such a lovely [D] dear
[Bm] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[Em] Full of ecstasy and [F#m] fire
[Bm] But he also was the kind of teacher
[Em] Women [F#m] would de [Bm] sire

[A] There was a [E] cat that [B] really was gone

[A] It was a [E] shame how [B] he carried on
He [Bm] ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the [Em] cassock he danced [F#m] really wunder [Bm] bar
In [Bm] all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he [Em] was real great when he [F#m] had a girl to [Bm] squeeze
[Bm] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[Em] Though she'd heard the things he'd [F#m] done
[Bm] She believed he was a holy healer
[Em] Who would [F#m] heal her [Bm] son

"This [Bm] man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the [Em] ladies begged "don't you [F#m] try to do it, [Bm] please"
No [Bm] doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he [Em] was a brute they just [F#m] fell into his [Bm] arms
[Bm] Then one night some men of higher standing
[Em] Set a trap, they're not to [F#m] blame
[Bm] "Come to visit us" they kept demanding
[Em] And he [F#m] really [Bm] came
[B] Ra ra [D] Rasputin [E] Lover of the [B] Russian queen
