Words that rhyme with Far
Map far onto a phonological grid and you get: one-syllable, the broad /ɑːr/, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. Lyrically, it reads as an unguarded everyday word. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. It serves as a quotidian anchor in most lyrics. Search rhymes for far long enough and you notice the pattern: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why far rhymes the way it does
Far is built around the broad /ɑːr/ (/ɑːr/); it's one-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Far is a word that benefits from the second pass.
