(Bm)    (Bm)(F#m)(Bm)    (Bm)(F#m)

There (Bm)lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was (Em)big and strong, in his (F#)eyes a flaming (Bm)glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to (Em)Moscow chicks he was (F#)such a lovely (Bm)dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
(Em)Full of ecstasy and (F#)fire
(Bm)But he also was the kind of teacher
(Em)Women (F#)would (Bm)desire
    
(B)Ra Ra (D)Rasputin, (E)lover of the (B)Russian queen
(A)There was a (E)cat that (B)really was gone
Ra Ra (D)Rasputin, (E)Russia's greatest (B)love machine
(A)It was a (E)shame how (B)he carried on

(Bm)    (Bm)(F#m)(Bm)    (Bm)(F#m)

He (Bm)ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the (Em)kasatschok he danced (F#)really wunder(Bm)bar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was (Em)real great when he (F#)had a girl to (Bm)squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
(Em)Though she'd heard the things he'd (F#)done
(Bm)She believed he was a holy healer
(Em)Who would (F#)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
Ra Ra (D)Rasputin, (E)Russia's greatest (B)love machine
(A)It was a (E)shame how (B)he carried on

(Bm)    (Bm)(F#m)(Bm)    (Bm)(F#m)
"This (Bm)man's just got to go," declared his enemies
But the (Em)ladies begged, "Don't you (F#)try to do it, (Bm)please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he (Em)was a brute they just (F#)fell into his (Bm)arms
Then one night some men of high standing
(Em)Set a trap - they're not to (F#)blame
(Bm)Come to visit us, they kept demanding
(Em)And he (F#)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
(B)Ra Ra (D)Rasputin, (E)Russia's greatest (B)love machine
(A)He drank it (E)all and (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
(B)Ra Ra (D)Rasputin, (E)Russia's greatest (B)love machine
(A)And so they (E)shot him (B)till he was dead

(Bm)Oh, those Russians...

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
