Words that rhyme with Guthrie
There's a particular shape to guthrie: two-syllable, built on the bright /iห/, ending that opens out at the end. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Songwriters asking for rhymes for guthrie run into the same map every time: the perfect-rhyme pool is one of the deeper ones, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, while the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Its lyric role is a common-tongue word. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why guthrie rhymes the way it does
Guthrie sits on the long /iห/, transcribed /iห/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 333 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1358, assonance 2,095, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Guthrie reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
