Help with timing on song

 
I'm hoping someone can help me determine the correct timing for this short chord progression. 
 
3/4 timing comes close but it's not quite right. I need to know to what I should set my Meter/Key setting for this project so I can play in time to the metronome and add percussion but I can't determine the correct timing. Can anyone help?
 
The link to the short riff is below. It's also downloadable if you need to import it into a project to determine the timing.
It's called "Timing".

Thanks,
Pete

    I think I finally got it.
     
    74 BPM at 8/8 timing.
     
    Whew, I was having such a hard time with that!

    I was gonna say a slow 4/4 .

    Easy to count as 1 & 2 &..... I know there are some programs that determine the BPM of a tune...I'd have guessed 65....

    Combo: 8/8 ... 6/8 'feel' (to my ears).

    On Sonar I'd probably set it up as a 2/2 or 2/4 and just accept the consequences.
