Canon Guitar Tablature
This is a classic, by a German composer, and should be played on like a hundred violins,
 so it's hard to get 100% correct.
 I think this is better than the other versions, but you’re going to hate me cause it uses some nasty pig chords.
Use your fingers-no plectrums allowed for this one!
      (D Shape) (Horrible pig chord C# shape)  (Bm Shape)      (A Shape)
e|--10--------10------9----------9------------7----------7-----5--------5
B|---------10----------------10-----------------------7--------------5---
G|------11----------------9-----------------------7---------------6------
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--10----------------9-----------------------7----------------5---------

    (G Shape)    (Horrible pig chord Gb shape) (Open G shape)(open A Shape)
e|--3---------3-----2---------2--------3----------3----------0---------0---
B|----------3--------------3-------------------0---------------------2-----
G|--------4-------------2-------------------0----------------------2-------
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------------0-------------
E|--3---------------2------------------3-----------------------------------

The chords are as follows   D  C  Bm  A  G   Gb (flat)   G     A

That other parts are just played around the D scale. If you are an advanced player you should
be able to figure it out quickly.

PS, a pig chord looks like this,  when in C# (sharp)

e|--9----
B|--10---    
G|--9----
D|--11---
A|--12---
E|--9----

That chord is the same in Gb as well, just slide it down to the 2nd fret. That chord
can be quite hard to change to quickly if you have never seen it before.

There we go, that's it, all I've done. I can't really be bothered to tab the whole thing out
like some people have done.
