Why chapman rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for chapman starts at the vowel — a low-front /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 48, assonance 6,682, and consonance 5. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With chapman, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
