Singer/Band:
Boney M
There [Bm]lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was [Em]big and strong, in his [F#m]eyes a flaming [Bm]glow
Most [Bm]people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to [Em]Moscow chicks he was [F#m]such a lovely [D]dear
[Bm]He could preach the bible like a preacher
[Em]Full of ecstasy and [F#m]fire
[Bm]But he also was the kind of teacher
[Em]Women [F#m]would de [Bm]sire
[B]Ra ra [D]Rasputin [E]Lover of the [B]Russian queen
[A]There was a [E]cat that [B]really was gone
[B]Ra ra [D]Rasputin [E]Russia's greatest [B]love machine
[A]It was a [E]shame how [B]he carried on
He [Bm]ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the [Em]cassock he danced [F#m]really wunder [Bm]bar
In [Bm]all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he [Em]was real great when he [F#m]had a girl to [Bm]squeeze
[Bm]For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[Em]Though she'd heard the things he'd [F#m]done
[Bm]She believed he was a holy healer
[Em]Who would [F#m]heal her [Bm]son
[B]Ra ra [D]Rasputin [E]Lover of the [B]Russian queen
[A]There was a [E]cat that [B]really was gone
[C] [B]Ra ra [D]Rasputin [E]Russia's greatest [B]love machine
[A]It was a [E]shame how [B]he carried on
"This [Bm]man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the [Em]ladies begged "don't you [F#m]try to do it, [Bm]please"
No [Bm]doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he [Em]was a brute they just [F#m]fell into his [Bm]arms
[Bm]Then one night some men of higher standing
[Em]Set a trap, they're not to [F#m]blame
[Bm]"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
[Em]And he [F#m]really [Bm]came
[B]Ra ra [D]Rasputin [E]Lover of the [B]Russian queen
[A]They put some [E]poison [B]into his wine
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin [D]Russia's greatest [A]love machine
[A]He drank it [E]all and he [B]said "I feel fine"
[B]Ra ra [D]Rasputin [E]Lover of the [B]Russian queen
[A]They didn't [E]quit, they [B]wanted his head
[A]Ra ra [C]Rasputin [D]Russia's greatest [A]love machine
[A]And so they [E]shot him [B]till he was dead
