		Rasputin

!		Intro: (<Hm A G F#m>) x 2, (<Hm F#m>) x 2, <Hm Em F#7 Hm>

>		      Hm
		There lived a certain man
		In Russia long ago
>		       Em
		He was big and strong,
>		      F#7              Hm
		In his eyes a flaming glow.

		Most people looked at him
		With terror and with fear,
		But to Moscow chicks
		He was such a lovely dear.

>		Hm
		He could preach the bible like a preacher
>		Em                 F#7
		Full of ecstacy and fire.
>		Hm
		But he also was the kind of teacher
>		Em    F#7     Hm
		Women would desire.

!		Chorus:
>		H     D
		Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
>		E            H             A
		Lover of the Russian queen,
>		            E         H
		There was a cat that really was gone.
		Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
		Russia's greatest love machine,
		It was a shame how he carried on.

!		(<Hm F#m>) x 2, <Hm Em F#7 Hm>

		He ruled the Russian land
		And never mind the Czar.
		But the Kasachok
		He danced really wunderbar.

		In all affairs of state
		He was the man to please.
		But he was real great
		When he had a girl to squeeze.

		For the queen he was no wheeler dealer,
		Though she'd heard the things he'd done.
		She believed he was a holy healer
		Who would heal her son.

!		Chorus.

!		(Spoken over the chords: (<Hm A G A Hm>) x 2)
		But when his drinking and lusting
		and his hunger for power
		became known to more and more people,
		the demands to do something
		about this outrageous man
		became louder and louder.

!		(<Hm F#m>) x 2, <Hm Em F#7 Hm>
		Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
		Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
		Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
		Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

		"This man's just got to go!"
		Declared his enemies,
		But the ladies begged
		"Don't you try to do it, please!"

		No doubt this Rasputin
		Had lots of hidden charms
		Though he was a brute
		They just fell into his arms.

		Then one night some men of higher standing
		Set a trap, they're not to blame.
		"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
		And he really came.

		Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
		Lover of the Russian queen
		They put some poison into his wine.
		Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
		Russia's greatest love machine
		He drank it all and he said "I feel fine".

		Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
		Lover of the Russian queen
		They didn't quit, they wanted his head.
		Ra-Ra-Rasputin,
		Russia's greatest love machine
		And so they shot him till he was dead.

		Oh, those Russians.
