_ _ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] He moved to a new land, and never mind the town.
[Em] But the cars were a charm, [F#m] he danced [Bm] really wunderbar.
All the fears of state, he was the moon to please.
[Em] But he was real great, [Bm] and he had a girl to sleep with.
For the Queen, he was no healing [Em] diva, though she heard the [F#] things he'd done.
_ _ [Bm] She believed he was the Holy Healer, [Em] whom [F#] would heal [Bm] her son. _ _ _
[D] Rah, rah, [E] Rasputin, lover [B] of the Russian [A] Queen, there [E] was a gap [B] that really was gone.

_ _ They just gotta go, declare his enemies.
Just [Em] contemplate his effects, [Bm] don't you try to do it, please.
Now this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms.
[Em] So he was made proof, [F#] they just fell [Bm] into his arms.
_ Then one night, some man of high [Em] extension, said,
Oh, trust me, [F#] I'm not to blame.
_ _ [Bm] Come to visit, as they kept demanding, [E] and [F#] he [B] really came.
_ _ _ [D] Rah, rah, [Em] Rasputin, lover of [B] the Russian [A] Queen, [E] they put some poison [B] into his wine.
_ [D] Rah, rah, [E] Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine, he drank it all and [B] said,
Rah, rah, _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] Rasputin, lover of the Russian [A] Queen, [E] they didn't quit, they [B] wanted his head. _
[D] Rah, rah, [E] Rasputin, Russia's greatest love [A] machine, [E] and so they shot him [B] till he was dead. _
_ _ _ _ Oh, those Russians.
