No final de 2008 Megan Washington lançou um EP com a banda Washington, com Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos), John Castle, Des White Des, Ross Irwin e Ryan Monro (The Cat Empire). No mesmo ano foram anunciados como vencedores Triple J Unearthed. How to Tame Lions em Setembro de 2009 foi o segundo EP. Após aparições em Spicks e Specks e RocKwiz, Washington chamou a atenção de um público mais amplo. No ano seguinte ganhou o Vanda inaugural & a Competição Songwriting Young para sua canção, "How to Tame Lions".
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Notes: I tabbed this after watching Washington's performance on Triple J's Like A Version on 22/04/11. I realise that there are alternate ways of playing some of these chords but this is how the guitarist plays these chords most of the time according to the live recording.
The Intro is an F chord with variations of the D note on the second (b) string. Both the Intro and First Verse are fingerpicked. Listen to the song for the strumming pattern
