Words that rhyme with Tweed
You can read tweed two ways: as a quotidian anchor, or as a one-syllable shape on the long /iห/ that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Songwriters reach for it as a workaday word. The strict-rhyme well runs deep, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why tweed rhymes the way it does
Tweed is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the bright /iห/, then it snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 155 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 366, assonance 8,220, and consonance 1058. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Tweed rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
