F#7 Bm "This Bmman's just got to go!" declared his enemies

EmSet a trap, they're not to F#7blame
Bm"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
EmAnd he F#7really Bmcame

BRaraDrasputin
ELover of the BRussian queen
A They didn't Equit, they Bwanted his head
BRaraDrasputin
ERussia's greatest Blove machine
A And so they Eshot him Btill he was dead
Oh, those Russians...
