I'm not sure you need tabs, have you tried figuring it out by watching it closely? The part you are asking about is just embellishments on the basic chords (Pachelbel's Canon in D is I, V, vi, iii, IV, I, IV, V): D, A, Bm, F#m, G, D, G, A. He just seems to be adding sus4 notes to many of the chords in that section. It's all in the key of D so your note choices are D, E, F#, G, A, B, and C#, at some points he descends or ascends using notes in the scale from or to chord tones. Try using your ears on this one, you might be able to figure it out yourself from this basic info.:grin:
