Rasputin - Boney M.(capo 2)
|: Am - Dm - E - Am :|
1.
Am
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago,
DmEAm
he was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow.
Am
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear,
DmEAm
but to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.
AmDmE
He could preach the bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire.
AmDmEAm
But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire.

2.
Am
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar,
DmEAm
but the kasatschok he danced really wunderbar.
Am
In all affairs of state he was the man to please,
DmEAm
but he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze.
Am
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer,
DmE
though she'd heard the things he'd done.
AmDmEAm
She believed he was a holy healer who would heal her son.

Am
"This man's just got to go," declared his enemies,
DmEAm
but the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please."
Am
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms,
DmEAm
though he was a brute they just fell into his arms.
Am
Then one night some men of high standing
DmE
set a trap - they're not to blame.
AmDmEAm
"Come to visit us," they kept demanding and he really came.
