Chords for Pachelbel's Canon in D Major

D A Bm F#m G D G A

It's a running joke that several pop music songs are merely derivatives of "Pachelbel's Canon":

Play D A Bm G and imagine a certain Irish rock band singing an either-or statement.

Play Bm G D A (albeit with a guitar detuned one-half step) and imagine a certain Windy City band lamenting about being in a cage regardless of rage.

Play D A Bm F# G D G A (I believe also one-half step down) and imagine a certain pop punk band asking if you have the time to listen to the lead singer whine about stuff.

Et cetera, et cetera.
