Canon in D for Guitar by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) - Free PDF Sheet Music for Classical Guitar. Includes both a notation-only edition and a TAB edition.  Left hand fingering. Drop-D tuning (6th string tuned down to D, see video). Level: Intermediate (Grade 5). This is a PDF Download.

Here's a free sheet music PDF of Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) arranged for guitar. This has been arranged for use in weddings, gigs, or special events. The opening has arpeggios mixed in with the bass to keep the movement going since the original can sound bland on the guitar. I've tried to keep it simple and short enough to sight-read at gigs yet provide some of the classic and recognizable sections of the work. You can also find the tab as a hardcopy in my Classical Guitar Tab book on Amazon. Here's the YouTube Video Lesson Link if you'd like to watch it there.
