For the strumming pattern, without a pick and with light palm-muting, pluck the root of the chord
with your thumb when you transition to it and strum the 2 and 4 with your fingernail.
Any time you transition to the Dbsus2, slide from 2 to 4 on the 4th string.

[Intro]
Dbsus2
This is a song about somebody I killed.
[Verse 1]
Dbsus2 Gb
There's a cool breeze that blows wherever Cool Rick goes,
Dbsus2 Gb
but he just got dead serious on me.
Ebm Gb
I startled him and made him sick.
Ab
I took the "Cool" out of Cool Rick
Gb Dbsus2
and now he's Dead Serious... Rick.
[Chorus]
Dbsus2 Gb
(But) if I needed you would you come to me?
Dbsus2 Gb
Put your head on my chest and help me rest,
Ebm Gb Ab Dbsus2
Like Charley, now that you really know me?
[Verse 2]
Dbsus2 Gb
But it's not fair to compare you to Charley, man,
Dbsus2 Gb
In regard to the tenderness he gave me.
Ebm Gb
It's easier for him to be near to me.
Ab Gb
He doesn't understand anything about ethics
Dbsus2
and he's prob'ly had extensive training.
[Outro]
Ab Gb
I'm sorry, man; I'm sorry I killed...
Dbsus2
Cool Rick.
