Rasputin

|Am | Am ||Dm | Dm |E| Am|


[Verse 1]
  Am                        Am
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
Dm                            Em              Am
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people look at him with terror and with fear
       Dm                    Em             Am
But to Moscow chicks, he was such a lovely dear
 Am
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Dm                  Em     Am
Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Dm    Em      Am
Women would desire


[Chorus]
Am    C         D            Am
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
G           D        Am
There was a cat that really was gone
      C         D                 Am
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
G        D         Am
It was a shame how he carried on


[Verse 2]
Am
"This man's just gotta go," declared his enemies
        Dm                        Em            Am
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
 Am
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
          Dm                     Em            Am
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms


For the Queen, he was no wheeler-dealer
Dm                                 Em    Am
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
 Am
She believed he was a holy healer
Dm        Em       Am
Who would heal her son


[Chorus]
Am    C         D            Am
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
G           D        Am
There was a cat that really was gone
      C         D                 Am
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
G        D         Am
It was a shame how he carried on


[Bridge]
  Am   C    D    G
La La La La La La La La La La La La
 Am    C     D      G
La La La La La LaLa La La La La La La
 Am  C  D  G
La La La La La


[Chorus]
Am    C         D            Am
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
G           D        Am
There was a cat that really was gone
      C         D                 Am
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
G        D         Am
It was a shame how he carried on
