Verse 1:
There [Am] lived a certain man... in Russia long ago
He was [Dm] big and strong, in his [E7] eyes a flaming [Am] glow
Most [Am] people looked at him...with terror and with fear
But to [Dm] Moscow chicks he was [E7] such a lovely [Am] dear
Verse 2:
[Am] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[Dm] Full of ecstasy and [E7] fire
[Am] But he also was the kind of teacher
[Dm] Women [E7] would de-[Am]sire
|Chorus:
|[A] Ra ra [C] Rasputin [D] Lover of the [A] Russian queen
|[G] There was a [D] cat that [A] really was gone

|[G] It was a [D] shame how [A] he carried on

Verse 3:
He [Am] ruled the Russian land...and never mind the Tsar
But the [Dm] cassock danced it was [E7] really wunder [Am] bar

But he [Dm] was real great when he [E7] had a girl to [Am] squeeze
Verse 4:
