_ [Am] There was a certain man in Russia long ago.
[Dm] He was big and [Am]
strong and he'd light a flaming stove.
Most people looked at him in terror and in fear.
[Dm] But to Moscow [Am] chicks he was such a lovey dear
He could preach the Bible like a [Dm] preacher
Full of [Am] excess [E] pain and fire
[Am] _ But he also was the kind of [Dm] teacher
[E] Women would [Am] _ desire
_ [A] Ra [C]-Ra [D]-Ratputin, lover [A] of the Russian [G] Queen
There [D] was a cat [A] that really was gone
Ra [C]-Ra [D]-Ratputin, [A] Russia's greatest love [G] machine
[Dm] It was a [A] shame how he carried _ _ _ on
[Am] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the [Dm] Tsar
But the cat that shocked [E] he had really [Am] won their bar
In all affairs of state he was a man to [Dm] please
But he was real great [E] when he had [Am] a conscience please
Born and clean he was a wheeler [Dm]-dealer
Though she'd present [E] things he'd done _
[Am] _ Sheep and sheep he was a holy [Dm] healer
The [E] one [Am] he'd hurt them _
[A] Ra [C]-Ra [Bm]-Ratputin, lover [A] of the Russian [G] Queen
There [D] was a cat [A] that really was gone
Ra [Am]-Ra [D]-Ratputin, [A] Russia's greatest love [G] machine
[D] It was a [A] shame how he carried _ _ on
_ [Am] _ But when his [G] drinking and his rusting and his [F] hunger for power
[G] Became [Am] known to more and more people
_ The demands [G] to do something about this outrageous [F] man
_ [G] became louder and [Am] louder
_ Hey, hey, _ _ hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Aww _ _
_ _ Aww
[E] He gets [Am] in rule
_ [Dm] _ _ Play to [Am] it
_ _ _ [E] _ [C] Can _
[Am] _ you tell us the construction behind this?
Yeah, [E] it's stuck together with a [Am] very special lubricant _ [Dm] Aww
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ [E] No, it's just a group of [Am] cardboard and hair and glue.
It's just a group of glue.
This _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ man has got to go, declared his enemies.
[Dm] But the lady is vague, [E] don't you try to [Am] do a tease.
No doubt this Rasputin has lots of hidden charms.
[Dm] Though he wants them roots, [E] they just fell [Am] into his arms.
Then one night some men of high standing
[Dm] Fell and trapped, they're not [E] to blame.
They're not to blame, [Am] they're not to blame.
They came out to visit as they kept [Dm] demanding
And [E] he [Am] really came. _
[A] [C] Ra-Ra [D]-Rasputin, [A] lover of the Russian [G] queen.
They [D] put some [A] poison into his wine.
Ra [C]-Ra [D]-Rasputin, [A] Russia's greatest love [G] machine.
He [D] drank it [A] all and set out with wine.
Ra [C]-Ra [D]-Rasputin, lover [A] of the Russian [G] queen.
[D] They didn't quit, [A] they wanted him dead.
Ra [C]-Ra [D]-Rasputin, [A] Russia's greatest love [G] machine.
And still they shock [A] him till he was dead.
