🎶 Rasputin

There [A#m]lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was [D#]big and strong, in his [Ab]eyes a flaming [A#m]glow
Most [A#m]people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to [D#]Moscow chicks he was [Ab]such a lovely [Cb]dear

[A#m]He could preach the bible like a preacher
[D#]Full of ecstasy and [Ab]fire
[A#m]But he also was the kind of teacher
[D#]Women [Ab]would de [A#m]sire

[G#]Ra ra [Cb]Rasputin [D]Lover of the [G#]Russian queen
[Bbm]There was a [D]cat that [G#]really was gone
[G#]Ra ra [Cb]Rasputin [D]Russia's greatest [G#]love machine
[Bbm]It was a [D]shame how [G#]he carried on

He [A#m]ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the [D#]cassock he danced [Ab]really wunder [A#m]bar
In [A#m]all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he [D#]was real great when he [Ab]had a girl to [A#m]squeeze

[A#m]For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[D#]Though she'd heard the things he'd [Ab]done
[A#m]She believed he was a holy healer
[D#]Who would [Ab]heal her [A#m]son

[G#]Ra ra [Cb]Rasputin [D]Lover of the [G#]Russian queen
[Bbm]There was a [D]cat that [G#]really was gone
[A#][G#]Ra ra [Cb]Rasputin [D]Russia's greatest [G#]love machine
[Bbm]It was a [D]shame how [G#]he carried on

"This [A#m]man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the [D#]ladies begged "don't you [Ab]try to do it, [A#m]please"
No [A#m]doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he [D#]was a brute they just [Ab]fell into his [A#m]arms

[A#m]Then one night some men of higher standing
[D#]Set a trap, they're not to [Ab]blame
[A#m]"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
[D#]And he [Ab]really [A#m]came

[G#]Ra ra [Cb]Rasputin [D]Lover of the [G#]Russian queen
[Bbm]They put some [D]poison [G#]into his wine
[Bbm]Ra ra [A#]Rasputin [Cb]Russia's greatest [Bbm]love machine
[Bbm]He drank it [D]all and he [G#]said "I feel fine"

[G#]Ra ra [Cb]Rasputin [D]Lover of the [G#]Russian queen
[Bbm]They didn't [D]quit, they [G#]wanted his head
[Bbm]Ra ra [A#]Rasputin [Cb]Russia's greatest [Bbm]love machine
[Bbm]And so they [D]shot him [G#]till he was dead⠀⠀
