 I'm going upfield way up on the hillside 
 I'm going higher than I've ever been before 
 thats where youll find me way up in the hillside 
 
 G(III) Em(0) D G(0) D 
 wading in the river reaching for that other shore 
 
 [verse]: 
 
 Em(0) D G(0) Em(0) G(0) D 
 I dreamed I saw a tree full of angels up on Primrose Hill 
 and I flew with them over the Great Wen till I seen my fill 
 of such pov---er------ty and misery sure to tear my soul apart 
 
 Em(0) D G(0) Am* G(0) D 
 ||: I've got a so---cialism of the heart :|| x2 
 
 
 [chorus] 
 
 
 the angels asked me how I felt about all I'd seen and heard 
 that they spoke to me, a pagan, gave me cause to doubt their word 
 but they laughed and said it doesn't matter if you help us in our 
 art 
 ||: you've got a socialism of the heart :|| x2 
 
 
 [chorus] 
 
 
 their faces shone and they were gone and I was left alone 
 and I walked these ancient empire streets till I came tearful to my 
 home 
 and when I woke next morning, I vowed to play my part 
 
 ||: I've got a socialism of the heart :|| x2 
 
 
 [chorus] 
 
 *Am in the last line of the verse might be an Em(0). 
 
 Em(III) is :
