Rasputin Chords by Boney M.

[Am]There lived a certain [G]man in [C]Russia long a-[F]go
[Am]He was big and [G]strong, in his [C]eyes a flaming [F]glow
[Am]Most people looked at [G]him with terror and with [C]fear
But to [F]Moscow chicks, he [Am]was such a [G]lovely [C]dear
[F]He could preach the Bi-[Am]ble like a [G]preacher
Full of [C]ecstasy and [F]fire
But he [Am]also was the [G]kind of [C]teacher
[F]Women would de-[Am]sire

[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[Am] [G] [C] [F]

[Am]Ra-Ra-[G]Rasputin,
[C]Lover of the [F]Russian queen
[Am]There was a [G]cat that really [C]was gone
[F]Ra-Ra-[Am]Rasputin,
[G]Russia’s greatest [C]love machine
It was a [F]shame how he [Am]carried [G]on

[Am]He ruled the [G]Russian land and [C]never mind the [F]Tsar
But the [Am]kazachok, he [G]danced really [C]wunderbar
[F]In all affairs of [Am]state he was the [G]man to please
But he was [C]real great when he [F]had a girl to squeeze
[Am]For the Queen he was no [G]wheeler-dealer
Though she’d [C]heard the things he’d [F]done
She believed he was a [Am]holy [G]healer
Who would [C]heal her [F]son

[Am]Ra-Ra-[G]Rasputin,
[C]Lover of the [F]Russian queen
[Am]There was a [G]cat that really [C]was gone
[F]Ra-Ra-[Am]Rasputin,
[G]Russia’s greatest [C]love machine
It was a [F]shame how he [Am]carried [G]on

(Spoken: [Am]But when his drinking and [G]lusting and his [C]hunger for power
Became known to [F]more and more people
The demands to [Am]do something a-[G]bout this outrageous [C]man
Became louder and [F]louder)

[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
[Am] [G] [C] [F]

“[Am]This man’s just got to [G]go!” declared his [C]enemies
But the ladies [F]begged, “Don’t you try to [Am]do it, [G]please”
[Am]No doubt this [G]Rasputin had lots of [C]hidden charms
Though he was a [F]brute they just fell into his [Am]arms
[Am]Then one night some [G]men of higher [C]standing
Set a trap, they’re [F]not to blame
“[Am]Come to visit [G]us,” they kept [C]demanding
And he [F]really came

[Am]Ra-Ra-[G]Rasputin,
[C]Lover of the [F]Russian queen
[Am]They put some [G]poison into his [C]wine
[F]Ra-Ra-[Am]Rasputin,
[G]Russia’s greatest [C]love machine
[F]He drank it all and [Am]said, “I feel [G]fine”

[Am]Ra-Ra-[G]Rasputin,
[C]Lover of the [F]Russian queen
[Am]They didn’t [G]quit, they wanted his [C]head
[F]Ra-Ra-[Am]Rasputin,
[G]Russia’s greatest [C]love machine
[F]And so they [Am]shot him ’til he was [G]dead

(Spoken: [Am]Oh, those [G]Russians…)
