| Wow! Makes a change, someone asking for the original, not RHCP's rendition.
Well, it's Eb minor for a start. The intro and first 8 bars of the verse are a riff in Eb minor, the basic notes are something like:
| Eb Gb Ab | Eb Db Bb Ab Gb |
I'm sure you can work out the rhythm.
Then it moves to F for 2 bars:
| F Ab Bb | F Ab Ab |
Then to Ab, then Db
| Ab | Db |
Then back to the riff.
The main bass notes for the bridge are basically:
| Ab | Eb | Ab | Eb | Ab | Eb | F | Bb |
Then back to the good ol' riff.
As far as soloing/embellishing goes, minor pentatonic is a good scale to use.
